Laden with prodigious piano-playing chops and a passionate Slavic style, Vassily Primakov comes to Halton Theater as guest soloist in Charlotte Philharmonic's From Russia With Love. Nothing silly about Primakov's showpiece, Chopin's Piano Concerto #1 in E Minor. And as Charlotte Symphony's neighborhood concert earlier this season confirmed, there is nothing shabby about the acoustics when large ensembles play onstage under the Halton's classy bandshell. Everybody wants to play the stately Halton, including the telegenic Charlotte Phil, appearing at CPCC for the first time. General admission seats are $30, whether or not you wear green, and the festivities begin at 8 p.m. Call 704-543-5551.
