The Lady Llanover Society is delighted to present Elinor Bennett, possibly the best-known and certainly the most influential of Welsh harpists. Elinor is Artistic Director of the Wales International Harp Festival (4 – 10 April 2010), which celebrates the 300th anniversary of the birth of John Parry (Parri Ddall). Elinor will talk about John Parry, play some of his music, and introduce the Festival and its artists.
Exhibition: Mrs Delany and
her Circle
Sir John Soane’s Museum, 13 Lincoln’s
Inn Fields, London WC2A 3BP
19 February – 1 May 2010.
Lady Llanover was a great-great niece of Mrs Delany, née Mary
Granville (1700-1788), and this exhibition is the first one to survey
her entire life and the full range of her creative endeavours. In her
will, Lady Llanover ‘bequeathed to the Trustees of the British
Museum the cabinet and stand at Llanover containing the unique collection
of plants and flowers from nature by Mrs Delany, which it was the express
wish of George III should be preserved in the British Museum as a standard
work of art …. and to the National Portrait Gallery the portrait
at Great Stanhope Street of Mary Granville (Mrs Delany) by Opie.’
Our member, the distinguished writer, Ruth Hayden, who is another descendant of Lady Llanover, is the author of Mrs Delaney, her life and her flowers (Colonnade Books 1988).
Lady Llanover’s monumental The Autobiography and Correspondence of Mary Granville was published in a new edition in January 2009.

A wonderful opportunity to appreciate the talent of this remarkable young artist prior to his appearances at the World Harp Congress, Amsterdam and in Paris. Benjamin will be supported by Eleri Darkins, who will play the triple harp so dear to Lady Llanover's heart, as well as the concert harp in a duo performance with Benjamin of Russian virtuoso Andres Izmaylov's 'Toward the Sun'.
Eleri is newly returned from three years teaching at the prestigious Tamnak Prathom Centre in Bangkok.
Sponsored jointly by Cymdeithas Gwenynen Gwent and Ysgol y Delyn.
I would be grateful if you could kindly pass the message on to any whom you believe may have intended coming.
