A year after her debut at Ravinia, Miss Wang returned to do another show with the CSO (Chicago Symphony Orchestra). The guest conductor was popular Argentinian, Gustavo Dudamel.
It was an all-Beethoven show!
Yuja played Piano Concerto No 1
Dudamel conducted Beethoven's Overture to Egmont
and Symphony No 7 ("Allegretto" is liked by dear daughter).
Time spent with DD, plus two of my very favourite Musician's shared a stage -- of course, I had a terrific time!
Yuja tripped over her long, cut-out, pieced gown as she went on stage. (During last year's concert, she wore a very short dress and did not trip).
She excelled at the Piano as usual. She didn't do an encore, though. Was she still not feeling well?? Is that another reason she wore a long gown? I'll pray for her good health and stamina. Overall, the show was memorable. May she return next year, Lord willing.
