I have recently bought tickets for Evgeny Kissin (Barbican, London) for December this year. It seems that all tickets were sold in a few minutes. Next year he will give a recital in London, tickets will be on sale soon.

Also, I would recommend Kirill Gerstein (April 2013 in Royal Festival Hall, London). I listened to him a few years ago and I was really amazed by his playing.

Today a SPSO concert will be streamed for free. It will have:

Prokofiev 1st symphony
Mozart 5th violin concerto
Dvorak 8th

It can be watched on: http://www.concertodigital.osesp.art.br/?lang=en

I am not sure if I will watch it, since I will attend this concert tomorrow and I am afraid that I spoil part of the fun, but I probably won't resist!

We will be going to this Emma Kirkby concert on September 7th. We reserved our seats in January & now there's only one reserved seat left, though there'll be tickets 'on the door' on a first come/first served basis.

Emma Kirkby is glorious. The venue - Norwich Cathedral - couldn't be lovelier. And there's Michael Chance too - a fine voice, and a witty raconteur to boot. Plus Norwich Baroque, our exciting local ensemble. :)

16 October - Royal Festival Hall - An all English-programme with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Brian Wright, including Elgar's beautiful Cello Concerto performed by Laura van der Heijden, making her Southbank Centre debut. Also on the programme is Constant Lambert's The Rio Grande (a piece I don't know particularly well) and Walton's spectacular Belshazzar's Feast, with Njabulo Madala as the brazen king himself.

20 October - Royal Festival Hall - A Sunday matinee consisting of Delius's The Walk To The Paradise Garden, Grieg's Piano Concerto with Alice Sara Ott as soloist, and Holst's The Planets. Vladimir Ashkenazy conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra.

17 December - Barbican Hall - Handel's Messiah with the Academy of Ancient Music.

17 February 2014 - Royal Opera House - Puccini's Turandot.

My wife and I are making plans to go to our first chamber music performances in almost 40 years this fall. We haven't gotten our tickets yet, but we have a number from which to choose.

I just saw on-line last night that there is a local chamber music group that comes to peoples' homes. You don't pay them - they ask for contributions at the door, and they bring and serve food for the guests as well. Trouble is, they look for homes with a good piano. Rules us out...;)
