Performer: Yuja Wang

Yuja Wang’s verve and panache, combined with the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra’s fearless, youthful energy, forge an incandescent, explosive performance.

For the first time in its 165-year subscription series, a female conductor leads a Vienna Philharmonic subscription concert. 

Yuja Wang conquers Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto, and just as impressive is The Cleveland Orchestra’s powerful take on the same composer’s Fifth Symphony.

The early work of Ravel’s, Prélude et danse de Sémiramis, from a partially lost cantata, has not been performed since it was composed in 1902.

The renowned violinist speaks about the clarity of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, keeping repertoire fresh, his love of chamber music, and how it informs his conducting.

The youthful conductor has recently been appointed Rotterdam Philharmonic’s principal guest conductor for the next four years – and performs Bartók’s Second Piano Concerto with Yuja Wang this November.
