Pianist Yuja Wang is one of the foremost musicians of our time, and she continues to reach new heights as a performer and programmer. In the first half of her spring 2024 Carnegie Hall recital, she performs piano works composed during the early– and mid–20th century by Messiaen, Scriabin, and Debussy. Wang then turns her attention to Chopin's Ballades, a collection of four single-movement compositions that are among the most revered in the solo piano repertoire.
