Martha Argerich has probably played in hundreds of cities during her long career, but she hasn't yet performed in Manchester.
In July she will make her début in the city with her friend Gábor Takács-Nagy and his Manchester Camerata, playing the Shostakovich Concerto for Piano and Trumpet. For this one-off event at the Manchester International Festival - during which acclaimed actor Kenneth Branagh makes a long-awaited return to Shakespeare in a sold-out production of Macbeth - French trumpeter David Guerrier will once again be sharing the stage with Argerich and Co.

They will play a Liszt concerto (I guess it'll be the first one) in the Bela Bartok Natioan Concert Hall, Budapest. Though I didn't find any other support to the happening of the event, it's noted in Gábor Takács-Nagy's website: http://gabortakacsnagy.com/2013-2/
Argerich has changed the concerto to Beethoven 1....
