Yn y Golau
Beth yw 'Yn y Golau'?
O Fedi 2019 i Chwefror 2020 bu criw o genod Ysgol Syr Hugh Owen yn cyd- weithio gyda Sera Zyborska ar brosiect 'Diwydiant cerddoriaeth'. Yn ystod y misoedd yna bu'r criw yn cynllunio am gig yn Galeri, sgwennu a recordio caneuon, dylunio deunydd marchnata a chelf a mwy. Bu Eve Goodman, Siân Miriam, Katherine Betteridge a mwy yn ymuno a'r prosiect a rhannu ei sgiliau a rhoi cefnogaeth i'r genod.
Yn anffodus cafodd y prosiect dod i ben yn gynnar oherwydd Covid, ond ym mis Hydref 2020 cawsom ffilmio perfformiadau 'social distanced' yn Galeri. Cafodd y berfformiadau ei ddangos mewn ffrwd byw ar Facebook yn Ionawr 2021.
What is 'In the Light'?
From September 2019 to February 2020 a group of Ysgol Syr Hugh Owen girls worked with Sera Zyborska on a 'Music industry' project. During those months the group planned for a gig at Galeri, wrote and recorded songs, designed marketing material and artwork and more. Eve Goodman, Sian Miriam, Katherine Betteridge and more joined the project and shared their skills and provided support to the girls.
Unfortunately the project ended early due to Covid, but in October 2020 we were able to film 'social distanced' performances at Galeri. The performances were shown via live stream on Facebook in January 2021.
We asked a number of inspiring women in music in Wales to share with us a bit about themselves and their work.
