Yuja Wang

20 minutes of Yuja Wang was not enough for the Hong Kong audience. The pianist had withdrawn from a second work on the program of her Asian tour with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Alexander Tsfasman’s Jazz Suite, which was to be played after Kapustin’s fourth Piano Concerto.
The Hong Kong audience protested against the program cuts and finally ticket holders were offered full refunds.
No explanatory reason was given for Wang’s decision to drop the Jazz Suite.
