Wang,Yuja / Abrams,Teddy / Louisville Orchestra American Project CD

The American Project - Yuja Wang is the brilliant soloist in a piano concerto by a longtime friend of hers: Teddy Abrams. The music director of the Louisville Orchestra, which he conducts here, describes his virtuosic piece as "an opportunity for the piano to guide us through what I think is one of the strengths of American culture, it's plurality, it's interconnectedness." Also written for Yuja Wang, the solo piano work "You Come Here Often?" is by another great friend of hers, Michael Tilson Thomas.
