Upcoming concerts or events (Last updated, February 23, 2010)
(REFRESH or RELOAD this page for latest.)
Thanks to the amazing Björn Östlund, Paul Rah, Quinten, and Rupert, who are the Main Compilers of the concert info. 8/15/09 - Quinten has kindly given me the text schedule he's kept so that I can do the website version more quickly -- am currently adding his items up through Sept 5. More will be added Sunday night.
for a timely schedule of upcoming concerts and any needed status updates.
The last events posted here are listings sent by Quinten for 2010, included
and updated at the new Martha Argerich concerts webpage
. Thanks!
There are old 2010 listings at the bottom of 2009 also that I haven't checked but, from what I remember, at least one of them was cancelled. Go to the new Concerts page for the latest information.
This page will no longer be updated.
To let Paul know of concert events not covered yet, write Paul at paulrah1983 (at) yahoo (dot) co (dot) nz, or PM ('Personal Message') him through his Argerich Concerts blog.
Those who have written alerts about Martha Argerich's upcoming events are still encouraged to continue to write about new concerts or cancelled ones at this website's guestbook as well, as it will help people searching for info but who don't know where to go, and the more places with this information visible early, the better for people using Google for information.
No link-checks were done for Quinten's 2010 listing.
The new page will take care of that. Thanks to Paul Rah for rescuing the Events/Calendar page.
