Yannick Nézet-Séguin

Yuja Wang

Piano

The “preternaturally gifted” (The New York Times) Yuja Wang joins Yannick and the Orchestra, performing Ravel’s dashing Concerto in G major as the spectacular centerpiece in a sparkling season opener.

Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major begins with the crack of a whip and the race is on, with piano and orchestra joyfully driving to the finish. A love letter to America that weaves fast-paced, jazz-laced bravado into a masterwork that demands the ultimate virtuoso, it’s in very good hands here with Yuja Wang, whose five-star reviews hail her ability to shift “from delicate finesse to fierce intensity ... with superb control” (The Guardian).

The concert culminates in one of the most romantic, enchanting musical chronicles ever penned. Ravel found so much rich inspiration in the mythic tale of orphaned lovers Daphnis and Chloe that the stunning music from his ballet yielded two orchestral suites, the second of which you will hear on this concerts. It begins in hushed beauty, a musical painting of a woodland scene, and closes in the joyous uniting of the lovers. A lovely ending to a perfect evening!
