Long Yu, conductor
Yuja Wang, pianist

Program:
Rachmaninoff, Piano Concerto No. 2 (with Yuja Wang)
Chen Qigang, Iris Devoilee*

“The arrival of Chinese-born pianist Yuja Wang on the musical scene is an exhilarating and unnerving development. To listen to her in action is to re-examine whatever assumptions you may have had about how well the piano can actually be played.”—San Francisco Chronicle


Shanghai Symphony Orchestra (SSO) is the earliest and the best-known ensemble of its kind in Asia, through which Chinese symphonic music has developed. Formed in 1879 as the Shanghai Public Band, it developed into an orchestra in 1907, and was renamed the Shanghai Municipal Council Symphony Orchestra in 1922. Notably under the baton of the Italian conductor Mario Paci, the orchestra promoted Western music and trained young Chinese talents in this style. It introduced the first Chinese orchestral work to Asian audiences and has been reputed as the “the best in the Far East.”

Performing with SSO is pianist Yuja Wang. At age 21, Wang has firmly established herself as one of the most significant pianists of her generation.

Andrew began teaching Yoga asana over 10 years ago. His classes are a blend of classical Hatha with strong influences from Vinyasa Krama and Ashtanga. Andrew’s background as an acupuncturist and herbalist, as well as a second degree black belt martial artist, give him a unique view of the standard practice of Yoga. He enjoys studying Ayurvedic medicine and classical Indian texts such as the Charaka Samhita and Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. A strong foundation, movement with breath and meditation are emphasized in Andrew's classes. The sequence of postures is structured so that one prepares the body to get into the next, allowing a deep practice. The physical practice is strong, but students of all ages and abilities are welcome.
