Aspen Music Festival: Aspen Festival Orchestra: Joyce Yang, piano

"AMFS alumna and pianist extraordinaire Joyce Yang returns to Aspen for a performance that is sure to exhilarate. Thrill to the pianistic pyrotechnics in Prokofiev’s Third Piano Concerto, which stands high on the list of virtuosic showpiece concertos. Long before 'world music' became popular, Dvorak composed his beloved Ninth Symphony, a work which Leonard Bernstein described as 'truly multinational in its foundations.' Welcome the return of one of the most exciting pianists of her generation, and hear the symphony that Neil Armstrong brought with him on the way to the moon in 1969."
