Yuja Wang is celebrated for her charismatic artistry, emotional honesty and captivating stage presence. She has performed with the world’s most venerated conductors, musicians and ensembles, and is renowned not only for her virtuosity, but her spontaneous and lively performances, famously telling the New York Times ‘I firmly believe every program should have its own life, and be a representation of how I feel at the moment’.

Her skill and charisma were recently demonstrated in a marathon Rachmaninoff performance at Carnegie Hall alongside conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Philadelphia Orchestra. This historic event celebrating 150 years since the birth of Rachmaninoff, included performances of all four of his piano concertos plus the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini in one afternoon, and saw queues around the block for tickets on the day. This season has also seen Wang perform the world première of Magnus Lindberg’s Piano Concerto No.3 in San Francisco with further performances of the work scheduled elsewhere in North America and Europe.
