His new opera WIR based on the first dystopia novel WE by Evgeniy Zamyatin had its premiere in Regensburg, Germany. The staging was a great success both with audience and media. The novel by the Soviet author Evgeniy Zamyatin, written in 1920, initially fell victim to censorship in his homeland. Like Aldous Huxley's BRAVE NEW WORLD or George Orwell's 1984, Zamyatin's dystopian vision of the future is now considered a classic of science fiction literature. De-individualization, oppression, surveillance and stagnation of life - these are the characteristics of the world depicted  in WIR (WE). The individual counts for nothing here, only the “we” counts. In his musical farce WIR, Anton Lubchenko emphasizes the struggle for humanity in a totalitarian structure that has degenerated into the grotesque. He plays with different styles, which he breaks again and again. In this way, he creates an ironic musical context to the literary dystopia.

In October, Anton Lubchenko opened the concert season at the Staatstheater Meiningen with a performance called "Tales". Two fairytale-like opuses - a suite from "The Adventures of Robin Hood" by Erich Wolfgang Korngold from 1938 and the symphonic suite "Scheherazade" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov with glimpses of the opulent fairytale world from the Thousand and One Nights - framed Mozart's G major Piano Concerto No. 17, KV 453.

The final highlight of the year was his performance at the Dresden Opera Ball in the United Arab Emirates. Conducted by Anton Lubchenko, the European Peace Chambers Orchestra Dresden accompanied fantastic performances by world-class tenor Plácido Domingo and Latvian exceptional soprano Marina Rebeka at the Dubai Opera.

His string sextet op.106 SOUVENIR DE LEONARDO accompanied the exhibition "Mona Lisa, A smile for Europe" in the Red City Hall in Berlin. The work was written especially for this exhibition on the occasion of the elections to the European Parliament.

His very own 9th Symphony (LINZER SYMPHONIE) had its world premiere in Austria at the Brucknerhaus in Linz under the baton of Vladimir Fedoseyev. Together with Mozart's Linzer Symphony it was later recorded and released in the album Two Linzer Symphonies.

His opera DOCTOR ZHIVAGO, based on the world-famous novel by Boris Pasternak, had its world premiere under the composer's baton at the Theater Regensburg, Germany. Later, that year, the opera was also performed at the State Primorsky Theatre, Vladivostok. During the 2015/16 season, following an invitation of Valery Gergiev, he performed several operas (Iolanta, Mazeppa, May Night, The Tale of Tsar Saltan, and The Story of a Real Man) as a guest conductor for the Mariinsky Theatre, St. Petersburg. He also recorded the soundtrack he had written for the film THREE DAYS BEFORE SPRING with the Mariinsky Symphony Orchestra.

At the National Centre of Performing Arts in Beijing, he conducted two programs of Russian symphonic music including works of Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Glinka and the world premiere of his own symphonic poem ANNA KARENINA with Beijing Symphony Orchestra.

At the Opéra National de Lorraine, Nancy, he conducted the world premiere of symphonic fragments of Sergey Prokofiev's last opera The Story of a Real Man, originally written in 1948 and reconstructed by Anton Lubchenko. He performed his own Symphony No. 7 (Orthodox Russia) for the first time in St. Petersburg. This performance inaugurated the celebrations of the 1150th anniversary of the origin of Russian Statehood.

His cantata, THE VOICE, based on words by Mikhail Lomonosov, has been awarded 1st prize, as well as the Special Prize of the Moscow Conservatory at the "An Ode for Lomonosov" Competition in Moscow 2011. The cantata was subsequently performed in the presence of the Government of the Russian Federation at a concert devoted to Lomonosov's 300th anniversary at the Moscow State University and at Moscow's International House of Music.

Anton Lubchenko conducted a concert-requiem at the fortress of Brest, Belarus. The program included works by Prokofiev, Shostakovich and his own cantata. This project was sponsored by the CIS Interstate Fund for Humanitarian Cooperation and the Federal Agency for the Commonwealth of Independent States "Rossotrudnichestvo".

He premiered and conducted his ballet IN COLORS in Toronto with the National Ballet of Canada.

His opera THE SON OF MAN in memory of the victims of the Beslan tragedy, was premiered in Vladikavkaz, Russia.

A performance of his Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom at the opening of the 12th Easter Festival in 2003 was the beginning of the, at the time only 18-year-old, composer's career.
