Yuja Wang: Rhapsodies of Gershwin & Rachmaninoff

About the Event

Travel with master pianist Yuja Wang as she wends her way through two rhapsodies.

Combining the elements of American Blues with the classical principles of composition, Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue is both jazzy and mysteriously intriguing. The Rachmaninoff’s stunning Rhapsody on themes of Paganini, with its typical Russian melancholy, is no less beautiful. The two rhapsodies comprise a unified yet contrasting program; Yuja Wang’s acclaimed playing combines stylistic flexibility with jaw‐dropping technical prowess.
