On May 29 -31, Nobuyuki Tsujii returns to the White Nights Festival in St. Petersburg for his third appearance in the prestigious music festival under the direction of Maestro Valery Gergiev. His appearance at the festival last year (2018), as well as his debut performance in 2012, were great successes.
This year's appearance includes an orchestral performance (Chopin 2) and a recital (a la May 10 Carnegie Hall). Details below.

Nobu should have just wrapped up his performance with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg and conductor Marco Letonj in Colonge, Germany. This is pure speculation, but my bet is that he and his team will travel to St. Petersburg from there in the morning. Out of curiosity, I took a look at the travel possibilities. It seems the group can travel from Cologne to St. Petersburg by air in 5 (Swiss Air) or 7 hours (Lufthansa), among other options.
In any case, we wish Nobu and his travel companions a safe journey!
