Another visit to Karelia

In a couple of hours I will start my second epic journey (12 14
hours drive...) to Petrozavodsk, to work with the Karelian State Philharmonic
Orchestra. This time I will assist their chief conductor Marius Stravinsky in
preparing a program with Ravel "Daphnis & Chloe" 2nd Suite and his Piano
Concerto for Left Hand. Both really beautiful and magical music!
I am really happy that the co-operation went so well that the orchestra wanted me back right away. Also the local Finnish language newspaper wrote a nice story about my Karelian debut!
