| 12-Jan-2013 Meyerson Symphony Center | A Romantic night out: Dvořák, Tchaikovsky and Brahms at the Dallas Symphony |
 Mirroring the January ritual of all who indulge in one final dessert-binge before dieting to honor ill-fated New Year’s resolutions, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra got plenty of Romanticism out of their system this weekend before their Mozart Festival, set to last the remainder of this month. They hosted two young guest artists, conductor Pablo González and violinist Nicola Benedetti, for works by Dvořák, Tchaikovsky, and Brahms.Read full review... | |
| 8-Sep-2012 Royal Albert Hall | Prom 76: A very special Last Night |
 The Last Night of the Proms isn’t really a concert at all; it’s two very different concerts put on one after the other. The first is something like what we’re used to from a Prom, with big-name soloists performing alongside the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Symphony Chorus in world premières and classic works from the repertoire. The second is more of a pops concert, featuring the same orchestra, choir and soloists, but with classic British tunes on the programme, and singing along is highly encouraged.Read full review... | |

The Rachmaninov Symphonic Dances too are substantial in their form and structure.Read full review... | |
| 16-Jun-2012 Perth Concert Hall (Horsecross) | The Gannochy Trust's 75th Birthday Concert in Perth |
 Bell’s Whisky used to be almost synonymous with Perth, and anyone who lives in Perth and Kinross will have been touched by the generosity of A.K. Bell’s Gannochy Trust, started 75 years ago. Early projects included sewerage systems to improve the quality of the river Tay, and setting up the Gannochy Housing Estate. Nowadays, the Trust helps all sorts of projects from village hall refurbishment upwards, improving the life of not only local residents, but further afield as the Trust now has a broader focus across Scotland.
