Denis Kozhukhin travels to Missouri this month, where he makes his debut with the Saint Louis Symphony in two concerts at Powell Hall on 5 and 6 March 2016. Kozhukhin joins the orchestra for Shostakovich Piano Concerto No.2 and performs for the first time under the baton of fellow Intermusica artist Gilbert Varga.

Kozhukhin returns to Europe the following week to make a second orchestral debut, this time with the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra and conductor Pietari Inkinen. Kozhukhin and the orchestra perform Prokofiev Piano Concerto No.3 at Dublin’s National Concert Hall on 11 March, in a concert that will be broadcast live on RTÉ Lyric FM.
