Yuja Wang, Piano
Víkingur Ólafsson, Piano

Wednesday, February 19, 2025 8 PM Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage
Yuja Wang by Julia Wesely, Víkingur Ólafsson by Markus Jans
Two of today’s most exciting pianists join forces for a wide-ranging program of works for two pianos and piano four hands. Individually, Yuja Wang and Víkingur Ólafsson constantly surpass even the loftiest expectations, earning worldwide renown while exploring some of the piano repertoire’s most formidable works. With this new collaboration, they unlock a world of programmatic possibilities. Experience Rachmaninoff’s own two-piano arrangement of his Symphonic Dances; the breathtaking Fantasie by Schubert; Thomas Adès’s arrangement of one of Nancarrow’s “impossible” studies for player piano; and exhilarating works by innovators such as Cage, Berio, John Adams, and Arvo Pärt.
