The world famous conductor Andrey Boreyko started the season by playing at festivals in Ljubljana, Rheingau, Gstaad. He also conducted La Scala Philharmonic Orchestra at The Grafenegg Festival in Austria. During this sole season maestro manages to work with Prague Symphony Orchestra, RAI National Symphony Orchestra, Sinfonia Varsovia, symphony orchestras of Toronto, San Francisco, and Sydney, orchestra of Mozarteum in Salzburg, as well as with Dresdner Philharmoniker.

Boreyko gained his fame partially due to his versatility: his concert sets as well as his vast discography melt composers as diverse as Mahler, Shostakovich, Arvo Pärt, Witold Lutosławski, Valentin Silvestrov, Giya Kancheli, Liszt, Alexander von Zemlinsky, Prokofiev, Wieniawski, Brahms.
In Moscow he conducts Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra – rare Austrian orchestra that performs mainly contemporary music. In this program Boreyko opposes Vienna’s 19th century with Shostakovich’s 20th century tragedy. 

French virtuoso David Fray is the soloist; this night he plays Beethoven’s piano concerto. Mass media praises Fray as “poet” and “possibly the most inspired and original Bach interpreter of his generation”. The certain poetic feel, though, is a feature of Fray’s style. Bruno Monsaingeon, a French filmmaker best known for pics about Richter, Glenn Gould, and Grigory Sokolov among others shoot "Swing, Sing and Think” about David Fray.
