Daredevil pianist Yuja Wang is at her finest performing Bartók’s Second Piano Concerto. From its thunderous opening to fiery finale, this formidable work is a brilliant showcase for Wang's "impeccable technique" and "edgy, kind of naughty personality." (The New York Times) Young Finnish prodigy Tarmo Peltokoski conducts a masterpiece by his fellow countryman: Sibelius' lush Symphony No. 1.
Runs Nov. 9-12.
