NY Phil: Yuja Wang, Lindberg, & Beethoven

• Yuja Wang, piano
• Santtu-Matias Rouvali, conductor

Gioachino Rossini — Overture to Semiramide
Magnus Lindberg — Piano Concerto No. 3 (New York premiere)
Ludwig van Beethoven — Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 36

Yuja Wang performs the New York Premiere of the Piano Concerto No. 3 by Magnus Lindberg, a former Marie-Josée Kravis composer-in-residence (New York Philharmonic co-commission with the San Francisco Symphony, Orchestre de Paris, China NCPA Orchestra, Norddeutscher Rundfunk, and Toronto Symphony Orchestra). Santtu-Matias Rouvali leads the orchestra in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2; composed as the composer could no longer ignore his increasing deafness, the work is nevertheless one of his most hopeful creations. 

Lead support for the January 5-10 concerts is provided by Barbara Tober, in loving memory of Donald Tober. Generous support for Yuja Wang’s appearances is provided by The Donna and Marvin Schwartz Virtuoso Piano Performance Series.
