Pianist Llŷr Williams from Penetrebychan near Wrexham received a very important invitation earlier this year to perform at New York's Carnegie Hall.
Only four talented musicians from around the world receive such an offer each year, and in the documentary Llŷr yn Carnegie, presented by Beti George, we'll see him perform on stage at this prestigious location.
We'll also hear more of the enthralling story of Carnegie Hall, a venue which has attracted the world's music greats to perform there over the years. These include Caruso, Casals, Mahler, Rachmaninov, Pavarotti and Bryn Terfel. We'll also join the audience at a special St David's Day concert in a luxury New York hotel.
In the concert Cymru yn America (Wales in America), organised by the Welsh Assembly Government, Llŷr gave a world première of a work by Karl Jenkins entitled Madog. He also played works by Chopin, Schubert and Debussy.
For his début at Carnegie Hall, Llŷr chose his programme carefully, in order to show his talent at its best. In the first half of the concert we hear works by Schubert and Debussy, and then in the second half, Pictures in an Exhibition by Mussorgsky.
In the programme, Llŷr himself explains the background to every section of the work, giving us a complete overview of Mussorgsky's masterpiece.
The audience at the concert show their appreciation by giving a standing ovation to the Welshman who's making a name for himself across the world. This is a very unusual thing to happen at the Carnegie Hall where the audience members are renowned for being hard to please.
