The orchestra, under the baton of Zoltán Kocsis, will play Liszt?s Les Préludes, Tchaikovsky?s Violin Concerto and Dvořák?s ?New World? Symphony No. 9.
The Russian Vadim Repin will be the soloist for the Tchaikovsky concerto.
Born in Siberia in 1971, Repin started to play violin at the age of five and six months later had his first stage performance, according to his website. At only eleven he won the gold medal in all age categories in the Wienawski Competition and gave his recital debuts in Moscow and St Petersburg.

Two years later Vadim Repin was the youngest ever winner of the most prestigious and demanding violin competition in the world, the Reine Elisabeth Concours.
