No sooner had I arrived in New York City for Nobu's Carnegie Hall recital on May 10 than news came that Nobu will perform in the 2020-21 season opening concerts for the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic (RLPO) & Mo. Vasily Petrenko
Nobu & Mo. Vasily Petrenko and the Liverpool go back a long way, starting in 2014, performing in U.K. and Japan -- most recently they performed in 2018.

In July 2018, it was announced that Mo. Petrenko is set to leave the RLPO at the end of the 2020/21 season to take up the role of music director at the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London.
So it is especially meaningful that Nobu is invited to perform with the maestro before his departure from Liverpool.

Then word came that there is to be, in addition, a recital in Liverpool.
It wasn't until after I have returned home that I had time to do a search on the web to piece together the information.
It turns out that Nobu will be appearing in Liverpool in FOUR concerts in 2020: A recital on May 10 2020, Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3 on May 14, and 2 performances of Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto no. 2 in September (September 19 and 22). Details below.
The information was found online, on the orchestra's season brochures, at the following links specifically: 2019-20 brochure and Accessibility page
