ABOUT
Morfydd Owen (or Morfydd 'Llwyn' Owen - her bardic name, as she is sometimes known) was born in Treforest in 1891 and continues to be one of Wales' most influential composers.
She lived a short life, dying at only 26 years old but leaving behind over 150 compositions from classical to folk. During her lifetime she studied in Cardiff and London, rubbed shoulders with the creative and political elite, often wearing cutting edge fashion including the odd lampshade worn as a hat! Morfydd remained deeply connected to Treforest throughout her life and her work was heavily influenced by a love for Wales and the Welsh language. You are invited to come and celebrate Morfydd's remarkable life and work through the festival and to be inspired by her creativity and her character. Whether you are passionate about music, are a young person with a big dream, perhaps you long for women's work to be valued and championed equally or have been influenced by faith and religion, are you navigating being away from your loved ones? The list goes on. This is a festival for everyone, it's a celebration of a fogotten daughter of Pontypridd and also a bright light of encouragement that we all have something unique to give to the world.
