After the huge success of the opening performances of his complete Prokofiev Piano Concerto cycle, described as “unmissable” by the Scotsman, Denis Kozhukhin returns to the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra for the second instalment of the series.

Kozhukhin will perform Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No.1 under the baton of Lan Shui at the Glasgow City Halls on November 24, and the concert will be broadcast by BBC Radio 3. Kozhukhin will also perform Schoenberg’s Six Little Piano Pieces at the post-concert Coda Performance, which will also be broadcast by Radio 3.
