Back by popular demand, Grammy-nominated Korean pianist Joyce Yang returns to Australia this 10-14 May, kicking off Piano+’s must-see 2024 International Recital Series, featuring four of the world’s leading international piano superstars.
Renowned for her extraordinary range, Yang was described as a “A knockout” by The New York Times, and lauded by the Washington Post for her “poetic and sensitive pianism”.
Yang’s tour of the East Coast will feature a program of works by Tchaikovsky (selections from The Seasons, Op. 37a), Rachmaninoff (Three Preludes from Op. 32 and Op. 23), and Stravinsky (The Firebird Suite), followed by Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. This suite, with its masterful emotional trajectory, is the perfect canvas for such an extraordinary artist.
From early and auspicious beginnings in her native Seoul, Yang’s superb musicianship has endeared her to audiences and critics worldwide in awe of her seemingly effortless technique and virtuosity.
Piano+ 2024 International Recital Series presents Joyce Yang at the Melbourne Recital Centre (10 May), Queensland Symphony Orchestra Studio (12 May), and Canberra’s Snow Concert Hall (14 May). Full details and bookings on the Piano+ website.
