Joyce’s 2025/2026 Season Highlights

In the 2025/2026 as one of the most in-demand soloists and recitalists today, Yang will continue to present her wide range of repertoire in over 30 cities around the world playing piano concerti with New Jersey Symphony, St. Louis Symphony, Vancouver Symphony, Oregon Symphony, Milwaukee Symphony, and Belgian National Orchestra among many others, and give solo recitals at Celebrity Series of Boston, Meany Center for the Performing Arts in Seattle, and ECHO Chamber Music Series in San Diego.

“ Mr. Maazel led a taut performance (of Bernstein’s “Age of Anxiety”), and the orchestra played this dark-hued music vividly and with a sharp edge. But the standout was Joyce Yang, who gave a knockout performance of the alternately poetic, fiery and occasionally jazz-tinged piano line. ”

Giving a Premier During Quarantine

My home has always been my hiding place, a place where I go in between concerts to regroup and improve my craft. My practice studio isn't glamorous and was never meant to be seen by thousands of people. Since most of the concerts have gone virtual since the quarantine began, musicians have started to transform their practice rooms into impromptu concert stages. Spaces that used to be private and only accessible to family members and friends are now open to the world. In July, I decided to join the world and record a world premier performance from my living room.

“ de Waart conducted Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3, with Joyce Yang, Silver Medalist of the 12th Van Cliburn International Competition, as the soloist ... She played with a polished, pearly evenness that was remarkable for its ease up and down the keyboard. ”

“ Her attention to detail and clarity is as impressive as her agility, balance and velocity. ”
