Michael Huebner of The Birmingham News wrote an article about Julian Schwarz and his upcoming appearance on Saturday, January 16, 2010 at 8 pm with the Moscow State Radio Symphony. This is one of many appearances Julian will be making this year with the Symphony.

Huebner writes, "Whether that Russian spirit stayed with him will be put to the test Saturday when Schwarz solos in Tchaikovsky's "Rococo Variations" with the Moscow State Radio Symphony at the Alys Stephens Center. It will be the first of 15 appearances Schwarz will make with the touring orchestra, and Schwarz's first experience with a European orchestra."
