Yuja Wang in Seattle

I have been hearing about "classical piano-rocking virtuoso Yuja Wang" for years and years. My mom is been a big fan of hers and has listened to her CDs and watched her performances on YouTube for ages. Our first chance to see Yuga Wang perform was thwarted in 2022 by a major health incident with my mom just 10 days before the concert. So needless to say we were thrilled when Seattle's Benaroya Hall announced that Yuja Wang would bring a solo recital back to the city in Spring 2024.
 

We made it downtown, ate in the lobby cafe and were all set in our seats for the big event. 

I must confess; I did not recognize any of the pieces. They were certainly chosen to highlight her skill, speed and precision. It was a triumph of accuracy and energy, that's for sure. It was wonderful to be there in person and show her our appreciation with our live applause. She reciprocated with 7 encores. Seven. It was phenomenal.
