As we mentioned earlier, Sir James Galway is off to the USA again, embarking on a huge tour, which will see him conduct and play at the same time in an all-Mozart program. Accompanying him will be his wife Lady Jeanne Galway, quite an excellent and renowned flute player herself and the Polish Chamber Orchestra. The program will be the same each night and will be announced shortly.
This will definitely mark one of the highlights of this year's live scene and should be a "must", if you have the possibility to attend. Here's the complete schedule of the tour:
