[ina-zdorovetchi]

Hi! I am looking for info about the date/location of Gliere’s Harp Concerto world premiere. I got some word-of-mouth insights on this, but none have been verified and unfortunately, I don’t have much time to do some thorough research on the topic.

If anyone has exact information about this, please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
