The rest of the musical programme is a journey through South America with Variaciones concertantes from Ginastera, Bachianas Brasileiras No. 8 from Villa-Lobos and Ravel’s Bolero for Spanish reminiscence. The concert will be recorded for on demand viewing on Mezzo and Medici​.tv.

In Philadelphia, the performances are scheduled at the Verizon Hall on 1, 2 and 3 December. The piano concerto will be followed by Mahler’s Titan Symphony.
