Following her 2016 debut, Yuja Wang makes a long-anticipated return to The Soraya on Saturday, April 25, at 8 p.m. Wang is joined by her regular partner, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, a pan-European ensemble created to tour globally, having performed in over 40 nations. Matthew Truscott is concertmaster and leader.
Consistent with her recent focus on Frédéric Chopin, Wang chose the composer’s Piano Concerto No. 1. The orchestra will also perform Sergei Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 1, often called the “Classical Symphony” for Prokofiev’s intent to model his early work after Mozart and Haydn.

PROKOFIEV Symphony No. 1
TSFASMAN Jazz Suite for Piano and Orchestra
CHOPIN Piano Concerto No. 1
