Some of you know already, and for anyone that is interested: I've been taking part in a piano competition and have reached the finals! Which means - I'm playing Prokofiev 5th concerto with orchestra this thursday! The finals are wednesday-thursday, and are broadcasted on radio, 7 PM finnish time. As far as I know, there'll be a videostream online too:

Good luck old chap.

Thank you everyone!!! Was so much fun playing this piece, though I was very nervous throughout the first two movements. The radio broadcast is now in the archives for a month or so, and its possible to hear it from outside of Finland too.

Day 1

(Beethoven 3 plus two Liszt 1)

Day 2

https://areena.yle.fi/radio/2130653

(Englund 1, Prok 5, Liszt 1)


The video will be up later

Last week, I did a phone interview for a classical radio station, which is supposed to be broadcasted in less than two hours from now, after 4:15PM finnish time, here:

Should be up in the archives later too. Was a bit nervous, no idea how it turned out in the end!
