Maestro Valery Gergiev and the Stradivarius Ensemble of the Mariinsky Theatre in Vancouver, October 20, 11 Orpheum Theatre, Vancouver, Canada
Strauss Metamorphosen – transported me to a wonderful place
Shostakovich Piano Concerto No. 1- OVER THE TOP! Brilliant and knocked my socks off!
Tchaikovsky Serenade in C Major – big smiles on my face and warmed my soul.

After the tumultuous reception to the Piano Concerto there was a mid-concert bonus – they repeated the 2nd movement of the concerto, equally amazing!
