Artist-in-Residence Yuja Wang plays the dual role of soloist and orchestra leader in this unique program. The winds of the NY Phil join in works by Janáček and Stravinsky, followed by the original jazz band version of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, which the composer described as a “musical kaleidoscope of America.”
Janacek: Capriccio for Piano Left Hand and Chamber Ensemble
Stravinsky: Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments
Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue (original jazz band version)
