YujaWang

Yuja Wang needs no introduction.

As The New York Times observed, Yuja “has made a career out of dazzling displays of virtuosity”, perhaps most notably when she recently teamed up with Yannick Nézet-Séguin and The Philadelphia Orchestra to perform all four of Rachmaninoff’s piano concerti - followed by his Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini - in a single concert. This was a feat never before attempted at Carnegie Hall, and one she pulled off with “both clarity and poetry… heft but not bombast, sentiment but not schmaltz” and then came back for more with encores.

The 2024/25 season sees Yuja embark on a tour of Asia with Sir Antonio Pappano and the London Symphony Orchestra, before joining forces with Víkingur Ólafsson for a duo recital tour of Europe’s most renowned concert halls, which continues in North America in 2025.

November brings a European play-direct tour with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, where she is Artist in Residence this season, and the new year sees Yuja return to the US where she is also midway through a residency with the New York Philharmonic. In January she performs with the orchestra as both soloist and leader for three performances of Janáček and Stravinsky alongside the original jazz-band version of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue.

An exclusive Deutsche Grammophon recording artist, Yuja was awarded a Grammy for Best Classical Instrumental Solo for the 2023 release The American Project, which also won an Opus Klassik award in the Concerto category.
