Michał Nesterowicz makes his debut in Asia in a concert on 18 April with the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra. Angela Hewitt is soloist in Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No.5, and Nesterowicz also conducts Strauss’ Don Juan and Wagner’s Prelude and Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde.

Earlier in the month Nesterowicz made his first appearance with a French orchestra, when he conducted the Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine in a Russian programme featuring Prokofiev’s Sinfonia Concertante, with soloist Henri Demarquette, and Shostakovich’s Symphony No.1.
