Full PSO to Europe (again) Sked

Here is the full sked on the recently announced Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra tour to Europe in May. I know that your eyes might glaze over when you hear Heinz Hall trumpeting yet another tour, and a European one at that, but this one is really significant. At least one leg near the end: If the PSO is able to shine under music director Manfred Honeck at the Musikverein, the orchestra will have finally gotten back to where it was when Jansons was leading it in the 2003 -- and then who knows what could happen. It's long overdue time to trash that Big Five grouping, isn't it?
