On Friday 13 at Brangwyn Hall, Swansea at 7.30pm, BBC National Orchestra of Wales will perform the last concert of the current Swansea season. The Orchestra will be conducted by Richard Hickox.

Voted Britain's favourite piece of classical music, Vaughan Williams' The Lark Ascending, evokes the timeless and serene flight of the skylark soaring over an idyllic landscape. The piece is not really a concerto in the traditiional sense, but a rapt pastoral mediation for violin and orchestra. Jennifer Pike was the youngest ever winner of BBC Young Musician of the Year and is now hailed as one of Britain's finest young violinist. She will join the Orchestra to play Vaughan Williams' work.

"...the most simply spectacular of the players...Equipped at 16 with a phenominal tuning,pace,control of timbre and range of dynamics, she brought the house down" The Independent.

On either side of it, two great symphonies will be performed-the epic granite mystery and power of Sibelius Symphony No 3 and the irresistible heroic force and grandeur of Beethoven's Symphony No 3 Eroica.

Tickets for the concert are avaliable at £9 to £14 from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales Audience Line 0800 052 1812 or Swansea Grand Theatre Box Office on 01792 475715
