Nigel Armstrong, the 21-year-old Colburn School student who is in the finals of the 14th Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition, will perform the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto at 8 a.m. (PDT) on Monday, June 27, and the Prokofiev Violin Concerto No. 1 on Tuesday at 8:45 a.m. (PDT).
Both concertos will be conducted by Nikolai Alexeev and played by the “Honoured Team of Russia Academic Symphonic Orchestra of Saint-Petersburg Philharmonie” (I’m not actually sure what this group is but Alexeev is permanent conductor of the St. Petersburg Philharnonic, so it may be connected somehow).
The competition has been available via Webcast, although it’s sometimes difficult to access. Here’s a LINK and here’s a LINK to my story about the semifinals.
