Yuja Wang returns to the Ravinia Festival for a concert on July 18 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Led by the esteemed conductor, Gustavo Dudamel, the all-Beethoven program includes his Overture to Egmont, Piano Concerto No. 1, and the celebratory Symphony No. 7. Ms. Wang, who made her Ravinia Festival debut in 2017, has previously received praise for her interpretation of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1:
“The pianist Yuja Wang’s offhand dreaminess — she always somehow seems at once modest and virtuosic — crackled with vitality.” (New York Times)
