Following her “sumptuous, powerful, subtle performance” (New York Times) of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with the New York Philharmonic earlier this month, Joyce Yang joins the orchestra and conductor Bramwell Tovey this Friday for the same work during the Philharmonic’s Colorado residency at the Bravo!

Joyce Yang’s summer engagements include a high-profile collaboration with the New York Philharmonic in Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 1.

"Alongside her burgeoning career as a soloist and concerto performer, the pianist Joyce Yang has also demonstrated impressive gifts as a chamber musician,” says The New York Times. “Here she joins the excellent Alexander String Quartet for passionate, soulful readings of two pinnacles of the chamber repertory." Fanfare magazine, in its review of the Brahms and Schumann Piano Quintets, calls her “a diamond in a platinum setting.

Joyce Yang's debut solo album for Avie Records, Collage, was hailed by American Record Guide as "an outstanding first recording." Now the pianist – a silver medalist at the Cliburn competition and recipient of an Avery Fisher Career Grant – presents her sophomore Avie release, Wild Dreams

Joyce Yang launches the second half of her 2013–14 season with renowned German violinist Augustin Hadelich.
