Ffurfiwyd ensemble gitâr Hŷn CF Music am y tro cyntaf, ynghyd â’r Ensemble Gitâr Iau yn 2002. Mae wedi bod yn weithgar ers hynny, gan chwarae amrywiaeth eang o gerddoriaeth, o drefniannau cerddoriaeth glasurol i gerddoriaeth boblogaidd.
Chris Ackland, y Cyfarwyddwr Cerdd presennol, oedd y Cyfarwyddwr am 8 o’r 9 mlynedd gyntaf a dychwelodd i arwain yr ensemble yn 2023.
Yn y gorffennol diweddar, mae aelodau’r ensemble wedi chwarae cyngherddau yng Nghanolfan yr Holl Genhedloedd, Neuadd Goffa’r Barri ac roeddent wrth eu bodd i fod yn artistiaid gwadd yn Arddangosfa flynyddol Corau Meibion y Barri.
Mae nifer o chwaraewyr yn aelodau o’r Ensemble Gitâr Ieuenctid Cenedlaethol gydag un aelod ar daith o amgylch yr Almaen gyda’i Ensemble Camerata. Enillodd sawl aelod hefyd fedalau Aur ac Arian yn Eisteddfod yr Urdd eleni am chwarae Unawd ac Ensemble.
Mae’r ensemble yn agored i bob chwaraewr Gitâr Glasurol o oedran Ysgol Uwchradd, sydd wedi cyrraedd lefel gradd 3. Fel arfer byddwn yn perfformio 3-4 cyngerdd y flwyddyn.

Bywgraffiad yr Arweinydd
Chris Ackland
Graddiodd Chris Ackland o’r Academi Gerdd Frenhinol. Aeth ymlaen wedyn i ddysgu yn Reading a Phrifysgol Abertawe ochr yn ochr â dysgu mewn sawl ysgol breifat yn yr 1980au a’r 90au cynnar. Yna agorodd ei ysgol Gitâr ei hun yng nghanol y 1990au a bu hefyd yn arholi i Goleg Cerdd a Drama Cymru, yn ogystal â bod yn ysgrifennydd i Gymdeithas Gitâr De Cymru.
Ar ddiwedd y 1990au dechreuodd weithio i Wasanaeth Cerddoriaeth CCVG (CF Music Education erbyn hyn) ac, ar wahân i gyfnod byr gydag Ysgol Gerdd Morgannwg, mae wedi bod yno ers hynny.
