This week's series celebrates the rich variety of music-making taking place at festivals all around Wales.
As well as being an area of outstanding beauty, Gower has a vibrant annual music festival.
At St. Andrew's Church, Newton the young Russian pianist, Pavel Kolesnikov, one of Radio 3's New Generation Artists, plays Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata and Scriabin, a composer with whom he feels a special affinity. Then it's off to Machynlleth, the seat of Owain Glyndwr's Welsh parliament in 1404, for a visit to this historic town's week-long annual music festival. At a concert given in the intimate setting of the Tabernacle, the Heath Quartet join Swedish pianist Bengt Forsberg for a Schumann's delightful Piano Quintet in E flat, written for and dedicated to his wife, the pianist Clara Wieck.
