Odessa Premiere of Sibelius 7th symphony

On September 24 and 25, the concert Hobart will conduct in Odessa has an unusual program: Sibelius's 7th symphony and violin concerto ( with Valeriy Sokolov ) with Mikhail Pletnev's colorful 'Jazz Suite' in between these two giants. Nobody can find any records of previous performances of Sibelius 7th in Odessa – most likely this will be the Odessa premiere.
