The New York Philharmonic announces the 2024–25 season activities for pianist Yuja Wang, the season’s Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence. Her residency comprises appearances in two orchestral programs and an interdisciplinary performance on the Kravis Nightcap series. All concerts take place in the Wu Tsai Theater, David Geffen Hall.
Yuja Wang will appear on the following subscription concerts:
- On January 23–25, 2025, Yuja Wang will lead the Orchestra from the keyboard in a program that includes Janáček’s Capriccio for Piano Left Hand and Winds, Stravinsky’s Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments, and the original jazz band version of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue.
- On March 13–16, 2025, she performs both of Ravel’s piano concertos — Piano Concerto for the Left Hand and Piano Concerto in G major — in a centerpiece of the NY Phil’s celebration of the 150th anniversary of Ravel’s birth. These concerts, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, also include Varèse’s Amériques and Gershwin’s An American in Paris.
Additionally, on January 25, 2025, Yuja Wang will appear on a Kravis Nightcap performance alongside New York City Ballet principal dancer Tiler Peck, who serves as ballerina / choreographer. The program for this concert — which also features the Mariel Bildsten Septet — will be announced at a later date.
