This month sees Denis Kozhukhin make his highly anticipated UK debut with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, which will mark the beginning of an exciting cycle of all five Prokofiev piano concertos with the orchestra.

On October 6 and 7, Kozhukhin will perform Piano Concerto No.3 under the baton of Xian Zhang at Glasgow City Halls. Both concerts will be recorded by BBC Radio 3.

The next installment of the cycle will be on November 24, when Kozhukhin will perform Piano Concerto No.1 with Lan Shui.
