Gregynog Hall is one of Wales’ leading country estates and former home of art collectors and public benefactors Gwendoline and Margaret Davies who were passionate about music.
They converted a billiard room into the Music Room and formed a choir, mainly from estate employees and their families. From 1932 to 1938, an Annual Festival of Music and Poetry was held at Gregynog Hall, conducted by such musical luminaries as Sir Henry Walford Davies and Sir Adrian Boult.
Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Holst and George Bernard Shaw were amongst the list of other distinguished guests who visited.
The Davies sisters together created one of the most important private collections of art in Britain and donated 260 works to the National Museum Wales, where it has become a national treasure.
The collection includes works by French Impressionists and post-Impressionists Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Pissarro, Sisley and Berthe Morisot. Some pictures, a lot of furniture and many books owned by the sisters still remain at Gregynog.
