===Music patronage - Gregynog Music Festival===
Whereas art was Margaret's passion, Gwen was a talented amateur musician. From 1933 to 1938, they sponsored the [[Gregynog Music Festival]] at their estate, a 3–4-day affair that included poetry readings. The festivals played host to important composers and other musical figures of the period, including [[Ralph Vaughan Williams]], [[Edward Elgar]], [[Gustav Holst]], "the conductor [[Adrian Boult]], and the poet [[Lascelles Abercrombie]]; and performers including [[Jelly d'Arányi]] and the [[Kolisch Quartet|Rothschild Quartet]]."<ref name=Gregynog>[http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/rhagor/article/1980/ Ragor: "Gregynog: Arts and Music for Wales"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130111090950/http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/rhagor/article/1980/ |date=11 January 2013 }}, National Museum Wales, accessed 13 October 2010</ref>
The sisters ended the festival during the build-up to the [[Second World War]]. It was revived during 1955–1961 by [[Ian Parrott]], who was Gregynog Professor of Music at [[Aberystwyth]] for more than 30 years. The festival was revived again in 1988 by the tenor [[Anthony Rolfe Johnson]]. It continues under [[Rhian Davies]]'s direction.<ref name=Gregynog />
