I went to Copenhagen last week to a concert which I expected would include two of my Nørgard arrangements, but one was cancelled weeks ago (and nobody told me) and the other was cancelled at the last rehearsal, although I knew that it was a possibility beforehand. It seems they hadn't scheduled enough rehearsal time to put together a Danish cellist, a Polish orchestra and a British conductor.
It appears that the first piece that was cancelled is going to be played later in the year (possibly as early as August) while I haven't heard anything about when the piece that was cancelled at the last minute would be rescheduled.
I did get to visit Hindsgavl Slot (see my Facebook acct for pics) and hear some fantastic cello playing. (I'm thinking of writing a piece for him, or possibly arranging my sax concerto for cello, since the full version still hasn't been performed. We'll see. I have yet to discuss either possibility with him.)
My teaching load this year is larger, so I don't know if I'll be able to attend either of the rescheduled concerts. We'll see.
