Music lovers are invited to join international stars from the world of opera for the highlight of the University’s 125th anniversary celebrations - a gala concert at the Wales Millennium Centre.

Compered by BBC presenter and Cardiff graduate Huw Edwards, the evening will also feature a specially-created fanfare tribute to the University, written by leading international composer Karl Jenkins – himself another Cardiff graduate.
