Sounds like a very stimulating programme! Best wishes for it. Living in Northern Ireland prevents me from attending I'm afraid!

You may be interested to know that a practically unknown transcription exists of Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony in E minor. It was transcribed and recorded on a minor(?) British recording label by pianist Thomas (Tom) Wakefield. In my limited estimation, this is a great achievement, so kudos to you on the 4th Symphony!

Track listing can be found here if you are interested: http://tomwakefield.com/Tchaikovski%20CD.htm

Yes, I'm very well aware of Mr. Wakefield's fantastic transcription (and recording) of the 5th--quite an achievement, to say the least.
