Mae gweithiwr proffesiynol blaenllaw yn y diwydiant cerddoriaeth sydd wedi gweithio gyda rhai o enwau mwyaf y busnes wedi\u2019i benodi\u2019n Gyfarwyddwr Artistig<\/strong> newydd Eisteddfod Gerddorol Ryngwladol Llangollen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Yn 39 oed, mae Dave Danford<\/strong> eisoes wedi bod \u00e2 chysylltiad degawd o hyd \u00e2\u2019r \u0175yl eiconig ac wedi camu i\u2019r r\u00f4l allweddol ar \u00f4l nifer o flynyddoedd fel ei Rheolwr Cynhyrchu.<\/p>\n

Mae\u2019n \u201chynod gyffrous\u201d am ei benodiad, sydd newydd gael ei gyhoeddi gan fwrdd ymddiriedolaeth yr Eisteddfod. Ariennir y penodiad drwy Gyngor Celfyddydau Cymru<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ac mae\u2019n dweud ei fod yn ymhyfrydu yn yr her o oruchwylio pob agwedd gerddorol o\u2019r \u0175yl, o gyngherddau mawr yn cynnwys s\u00ear mor amrywiol \u00e2 Syr Tom Jones<\/strong> a\u2019r Manic Street Preachers<\/strong> cyn ac yn ystod wythnos graidd yr \u0175yl o 2-7 Gorffennaf, i\u2019w rhaglen unigryw o gystadlaethau o safon ryngwladol.<\/p>\n

Daw Dave, 39, yn wreiddiol o Abertawe ac astudiodd yng Ngholeg Brenhinol Cerdd a Drama Cymru<\/strong> yng Nghaerdydd ar gyfer ei radd mewn offerynnau taro cerddorfaol.<\/p>\n

Dechreuodd ei yrfa gerddoriaeth fel offerynnwr taro llawrydd yn gweithio gydag amrywiaeth o gerddorfeydd.<\/p>\n

Chwaraeodd gyda Cherddorfa Genedlaethol Gymreig y BBC<\/strong>, y Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra<\/strong>, a\u2019r Royal Northern Sinfonia<\/strong> a recordiodd gyda Dru Masters<\/strong>, cyfansoddwr thema The Apprentice<\/strong> ar deledu\u2019r BBC, a chyn DJ BBC Radio 1<\/strong>, Judge Jules<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Rhwng 2017 a 2023 bu ar daith o amgylch y byd fel offerynnwr taro yn y sioe gerdd Bat Out of Hell: The Musical<\/strong>, gan gynnwys cyfnod yn y West End<\/strong> yn 2018, ac ar daith arena o amgylch Awstralia<\/strong> a Seland Newydd<\/strong> ar ddechrau 2023.<\/p>\n

Ochr yn ochr \u00e2 hyn, yn 2010 ychwanegodd bluen proffesiynol newydd yn ei het drwy sefydlu ei gwmni ei hun, Absolute Music Services<\/strong>, sy\u2019n arbenigo mewn cydosod cerddorfeydd i chwarae mewn cyngherddau a theithiau mawr ledled y DU.<\/p>\n

Mae rhai prosiectau blaenorol yn cynnwys darparu cerddorfeydd ar gyfer cyngerdd pen-blwydd y cyfansoddwr Hollywood<\/strong> Michael Giacchino<\/strong> yn 50 yn Neuadd Frenhinol Albert<\/strong>, Casablanca Live yn y T\u0177 Opera Brenhinol<\/strong> a Home Alone in Concert yn Neuadd Frenhinol Albert, ac yn Aalborg, Denmarc<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Yn 2011 ffurfiodd y band Cymraeg Adran D<\/strong> a ryddhaodd ddau albwm o ganeuon traddodiadol Cymreig wedi eu moderneiddio ar gyfer yr 21ain ganrif, gyda nifer o draciau yn dal i gael eu cynnwys ar restr chwarae BBC Radio Cymru<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dechreuodd Dave ei gysylltiad ag Eisteddfod Gerddorol Ryngwladol Llangollen am y tro cyntaf yn 2012 pan, drwy weithio\u2019n agos gyda Chyfarwyddwr Cerdd yr \u0175yl ar y pryd, Eilir Owen Griffiths<\/strong>, ddarparu\u2019r gerddorfa ar gyfer perfformiad o The Peacemakers gan Syr Karl Jenkins<\/strong> yn yr \u0175yl ac, yn y blynyddoedd dilynol, bu\u2019n helpu i drefnu cyngherddau yn cynnwys artistiaid fel Alfie Boe<\/strong>, y Fonesig Evelyn Glennie<\/strong>, a Rolando Villaz\u00f3n<\/strong>. Mae\u2019n edrych ymlaen at roi rhai o\u2019i syniadau arloesol ar waith i symud yr \u0175yl yn ei blaen.<\/p>\n

Ar wah\u00e2n i\u2019w holl rolau eraill mae hefyd yn Gyfarwyddwr Artistig ei gerddorfa ei hun, y British Sinfonietta<\/strong>, sydd wedi ennill enw da iddi\u2019i hun ym myd perfformio proffesiynol ers ei sefydlu yn 2010.<\/p>\n

Mae eisoes wedi trefnu i\u2019r mentrau eraill hyn fod mewn dwylo diogel wrth iddo gamu i\u2019w r\u00f4l ganolog yn Llangollen.<\/p>\n

Mae Dave yn dweud nad yw am funud yn bychanu\u2019r her y mae\u2019n ei hwynebu nawr gyda g\u0175yl eiconig Llangollen sydd bellach yn brwydro\u2019n galed i adennill a chryfhau ei hap\u00eal ryngwladol a chartref ar \u00f4l dioddef rhwystr ariannol mawr yr haf diwethaf.<\/p>\n

Mae\u2019r Eisteddfod bellach wedi sefydlu partneriaeth aruthrol gyda\u2019r asiantaeth ryngwladol Cuffe & Taylor<\/strong> i archebu llu o\u2019r prif artistiaid ar gyfer ei chyngherddau gyda\u2019r nos yn ystod ac yn y cyfnod cyn yr \u0175yl, o Syr Tom Jones<\/strong> i Paloma Faith<\/strong> ac o Gregory Porter<\/strong> i\u2019r Manic Street Preachers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mae hefyd wedi ailwampio ei raglen gystadlaethau i sicrhau cydbwysedd perffaith rhwng agweddau traddodiadol a mwy hygyrch.<\/p>\n

\u201cMae\u2019r cyngherddau rydyn ni wedi\u2019u cyhoeddi dros yr wythnosau diwethaf yn cynrychioli\u2019r pecyn adloniant mwyaf anhygoel rydyn ni erioed wedi\u2019i drefnu, gyda gwir s\u00ear ac ap\u00eal eang,\u201d meddai Dave.<\/p>\n

\u201cRwyf hefyd wrth fy modd \u00e2\u2019r rhan o\u2019m swydd sy\u2019n ymwneud \u00e2 rhoi ein cystadlaethau at ei gilydd a sicrhau bod ein cystadlaethau\u2019n rhedeg yn esmwyth, ac rwyf eisoes wedi cael llawer o brofiad yn fy swydd ddiwethaf fel rheolwr cynhyrchu.<\/p>\n

\u201cRydyn ni\u2019n gwneud pethau mewn ffordd newydd ar gyfer 2024 trwy ymgorffori rowndiau terfynol rhai o\u2019r cystadlaethau yn ystod y dydd yn y cyngherddau gyda\u2019r nos, er enghraifft trwy gael rownd derfynol cystadleuaeth y c\u00f4r ieuenctid ar nos Fercher yr \u0175yl yn ystod y cyngerdd nos y noson honno.<\/p>\n

\u201cRydyn ni wedi gwneud hyn oherwydd efallai bod gennym ni rai pobl sy\u2019n dod draw ar gyfer y cyngherddau gyda\u2019r nos a ddim hyd yn oed yn sylweddoli bod gennym ni gystadlaethau yn digwydd trwy gydol y dydd. Felly gobeithio y bydd hyn yn helpu i roi\u2019r darlun cyffredinol iddynt o\u2019r hyn rydym yn ei wneud.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ychwanegodd Dave, sy\u2019n briod \u00e2 Si\u00e2n ac sydd \u00e2 dau o blant sy\u2019n naw a phump oed: \u201cRwyf wrth fy modd am ddod yn Gyfarwyddwr Artistig<\/strong> gan mai dyna yw fy swydd ddelfrydol.<\/p>\n

\u201cRwyf hefyd yn gyffrous iawn am y gobaith o helpu\u2019r Eisteddfod i oresgyn yr heriau y mae wedi\u2019u hwynebu dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf ac ni allaf aros i fis Gorffennaf nesaf ddod.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dywedodd yr Athro Chris Adams<\/strong>, cadeirydd Eisteddfod Gerddorol Ryngwladol Llangollen: \u201cRydym yn falch iawn o benodi Dave Danford<\/strong> i\u2019r swydd ganolog hon yn ein g\u0175yl. Fel ffigwr adnabyddus yn niwydiant cerddoriaeth y DU, gydag enw da am arloesi, mae Dave wedi gweithio gyda\u2019n Heisteddfod ers sawl blwyddyn ac fel Rheolwr Cynhyrchu wedi bod yn gyfrifol am roi nifer o nosweithiau cofiadwy i ni. Edrychwn ymlaen at weithio gyda Dave ar rai o\u2019i syniadau llawn dychymyg i symud ein g\u0175yl ymlaen.<\/p>\n

\u201cMae\u2019n rhywun sy\u2019n rhannu ethos ein g\u0175yl sef y gallwn, trwy rannu cerddoriaeth a dawns, hyrwyddo harmoni rhyngwladol, ac edrychwn ymlaen at weithio gydag ef i gyflwyno Eisteddfod Llangollen 2024 a fydd yn cael ei thrafod am genedlaethau.\u201d<\/p>\n
