WIDELY REGARDED as one of the most important artists of her generation, pianist Yuja Wang makes a swing through Southern California as soloist with and leader of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. Wang is celebrated for her extraordinary musicianship, transcendent technical prowess and charismatic stage presence; the nomadic collective Mahler Chamber Orchestra gathers 45 musicians from 20 countries for international tours.
April 22 at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa, Wang and the MCO present Alexander Tsfasman’s Jazz Suite for Piano and Orchestra and Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor; a pre-concert lecture features KUSC’s Brian Lauritzen (philharmonicsociety.org).
