and remembering as I should have that the site I mentioned doesn't really notice community orchestras well, there's at least one or two in the US that are playing the Borodin Polovtsian Dances and the Dvorak 9th in a concert sometime in 2016. (Eg http://www.chandlersymphony.net/Handbook-Concert-Dates-and-Locations.html - March 20, 2016.)
(The Curtis Institute of Music is doing the Berio on Jan. 31 2016 with Mahler's 1st and Busoni's Berceuse. Same conductor as in Seattle. Other works by Berio are getting a number of performances in the US and elsewhere this coming season also, including his "Folk Songs" in California in December and in upstate New York in April 2016. (Yes, in Ithaca, New York. :) with Dawn Upshaw, I see... Then again, you have Andris Nelsons as conductor. Good, that. I think I have one of his recordings with the Berlin Phil., or rather a broadcast of music by Heinrich Kaminski (1886-1946) (his Dorian Music, (1933?).)... (one can hear it- and other Berlin Phil. concerts- at a website called Digitalconcerthall.com by registering as a member of the site. I forget if it's free, unfortunately.) (And he is doing at least 2 concerts with Dvorak works, including what looks like a fine one with Martinu's last symphony, Dvorak's cello concerto and The Moldau from "Ma Vlast"...) I gather Boston Sym. concerts are webcast now also; I've meant to catch some of them...
