The concerts will take place at such prestigious venues as the Berliner and Kölner Philharmonies, the Munich Philharmonie im Gasteig, the Lucerne and Rozenheim Culture and Congress Centres, the Stuttgart Liederhalle Culture and Congress Centre and others.

The concert programmes will include the following, among other, works: Respighi’s Adagio with variations for cello and orchestra, Saint-Saëns’ Concerto No. 1 for cello and orchestra, Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 3, and also Dvořák’s Carnaval Overture, Concerto for cello and orchestra and his Symphony No. 6.
