As he prepares to reach the United States for a tour at the head of large American phalanxes, Aziz Shokhakimov will be, this Thursday, January 9 at 8 p.m., the guest of the Classique newspaper.

He recently caused a sensation at the Philharmonie de Paris at the head of his Strasbourg Philharmonic orchestra but also during his debut with the Paris orchestra. Aziz Shokhakimov is one of the new big management stars.

He is now in demand by prestigious groups around the world and will, this January, be on tour in the United States, at the invitation of the Atlanta, Seattle and Dallas symphony orchestras. He will then meet his Strasbourg musicians from February 14 to 16, at the Opéra du Rhin, for a show around Peer Gynt by Grieg, with texts by Ibsen.
