Performances are held at the CCP Main Theater and they start at 8:00 PM.

This lineup had some changes compared to the subscription form that I got during the orchestra’s last performance. It’s not uncommon for the programme and performers to change but sometimes they do throw me off especially if they’re last minute changes. Initially, Slavchev was to play the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto but it was changed to Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto. And Gulyak’s piece was previously announced as Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 2 and now, it’s the Concerto No. 3 instead. Oh dear, someone will play Rach 3 and why do I have to wait for next year? I want to see it now!

Ochanine also adds that there will be other special performances aside from their regular season concert. But no details about those yet.
