On 8 June they will be performing the masterpiece Symphony νo. 1, “Classical” and Piano Concerto no. 3 by Sergey Prokofiev, along with the explosive Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky. Piano soloist at this performance will be the up-and-coming star of the Russian music scene Denis Matsuev, whom the international Press have already dubbed the “new Horowitz”.'
