Gregynog Festival 2012: Venezia
Each year, the Festival is curated on a special theme drawn from the history of Gregynog and music in Wales.
The 2012 Festival runs from 15 June to 1 July and its theme is Venezia, marking 100 years since the founders of the Gregynog Festival, Gwendoline and Margaret Davies, acquired their first Impressionist paintings of the city of Venice. These were once displayed in the Festival's principal performance space, the historic Music Room at Gregynog Hall, and now form the centrepiece of the collection at the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff.
This year's events feature some of the world's greatest exponents of the music of Venice and take place in Gregynog, Kerry and Montgomery in the Welsh Borders and in the Gregynog Gallery and Main Hall at National Museum Cardiff.
Gregynog is 15 minutes from Newtown, less than an hour from Shrewsbury, 1.5 hours from Birmingham and 2 hours from Manchester and South Wales.
General booking is now open. Explore the concerts and book your seats here.
