Child Policy: This performance is not suitable for children under six years old. Children aged 16 and under must be accompanied by a caregiver who attends the event with the child. Conductor --- Alan Buribayev Piano --- Eva Gevorgyan Tchaikovsky --- Eugene Onegin: Polonaise Chopin --- Piano Concerto No.1 Kalinnikov --- Symphony No.1 The stunning Russian-Armenian pianist Eva Gevorgyan makes her NZ debut with the delicate, melancholic concerto of the incomparable poet of the piano, Chopin. Vasily Kalinnikov's glorious First Symphony is one of the forgotten gems of Russian music: its composer died at only 35, and its profusion of warm-hearted melodies gives a tantalising glimpse of what was lost. Those who knew and mourned Kalinnikov included Tchaikovsky, who opens the concert with the vigorous Polonaise from his greatest opera.
