Yuja Wang play-conducts the Mahler Chamber Orchestra【Donors' Priority Booking】

"Quite simply, the most dazzlingly, uncannily gifted pianist in the concert world today."
San Francisco Chronicle

"Technical brilliance was balanced by finesse and great depth of feeling throughout, offsetting delicacy with fierce intensity, everything superbly controlled yet suggesting emotional spontaneity and freedom."
The Guardian
