See Chinese Pianist Yuja Wang perform at Walt Disney Concert Hall as part of Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Colburn Celebrity Series.

Her performances are spontaneous and fearless; her technique has been described as “astounding” and “superhuman.” March 24 at Walt Disney Concert Hall, as part of the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Colburn Celebrity Series, Chinese pianist Yuja Wang, 24, makes her recital debut playing an array of French and Russian music from the first decades of the 20th century: sonatas by Scriabin and Rachmaninoff and other works by Rachmaninoff, Mendelssohn, Debussy and Ravel. Of Wang’s San Francisco recital debut, the San Francisco Chronicle wrote that her arrival on the musical scene “is an exhilarating and unnerving development. To listen to her in action is to re-examine whatever assumptions you may have had about how well the piano can actually be played.” The Washington Post called her Kennedy Center recital debut “jaw-dropping.” Wang is an exclusive recording artist for Deutsche Grammophon. 111 S. Grand Ave., downtown, 323.850.2000. laphil.com
