Today I received a phone call saying that I am conducting Carmina Burana by Carl Orff in St. Petersburg on the 11th October. I have known about this engagement for a while but it was only confirmed today. It is a charity concert raising funds for the Hospices in St. Petersburg. I’ll be conducting my own orchestra and I am really looking forwards to it.
But at the moment I am in the middle of my ‘Music at the fort’ festival and I am conducting on Saturday and Sunday so I have to think more about St. Petersburg next week. I’ll let you know as soon as I find out more.
