At the concert in the Zaryadye Hall the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia will be joined by Nicolas Baldeyrou, soloist and principal of the clarinet group of the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra, professor of the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Lyon, winner of many international competitions. A brilliant graduate from the Conservatoire de Paris, he has played with the best European orchestras (he was a soloist of the European Union Youth Orchestra, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, the Orchestre National de France), given recitals in the most famous halls worldwide such as Carnegie Hall in New York, the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Kölner Philharmonie, the Mozarteum in Salzburg, the Konzerhaus in Vienna. He collaborates with ensembles of ancient and contemporary music, also performing new works written specially for him.

In Moscow Baldeyrou will play the solo part in Claude Debussy's elegant and capricious Rhapsody for clarinet and orchestra breezing Mozart's spirit and in the Concerto for clarinet and orchestra by Franz Krommer (František Kramář), a Mozart contemporary. The concert will be framed by two symphonic pieces, opening with the famed Adagietto from Mahler's Fifth Symphony and ending with Alexander von Zemlinsky's fantasy Die Seejungfrau (The Mermaid), based on Andersen's fairy-tale and embodying the author's personal tragedy whose beloved one preferred his friend Mahler to him.

The NPR will play under the baton of the leading Romanian conductor Gabriel Bebeșelea, Director of the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra in Bucharest, Principal Conductor of the North Macedonian Philharmonic Orchestra in Skopje and of the Transylvania State Philharmonic Orchestra in Cluj-Napoca. He first conducted the NPR in the spring of 2017 and since then has presented several different programs to the Moscow audience. The Romanian maestro's previous concert took place in February 2021.
