Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Teddy Abrams, conductor, Yuja Wang, piano

The program spans a wide spectrum of 20th‑century music, from Copland’s Appalachian Spring and Barber’s Piano Concerto to Bach‑inspired transformations and the brilliance of French and Soviet jazz‑infused orchestral writing. Pianist Yuja Wang makes her first appearance at the Ljubljana Festival, bringing her trademark virtuosity, curiosity, and charismatic stage presence. The concert is conducted by Teddy Abrams, music director of the Louisville Orchestra and composer of a Grammy‑winning piano concerto written for Wang.
