Madison Symphony Orchestra

press release: Joyce Yang Plays Prokofiev

“November brings us another Madison Symphony debut, that of the amazing pianist Joyce Yang. She will perform the Prokofiev’s dazzling third piano concerto, one of the great and most popular of concertos, and certainly a favorite of mine. And I can’t wait for you to experience the hauntingly beautiful Newly Drawn Sky, by Aaron Kernis. Of the four beautiful symphonies by Robert Schumann, many regard his second as the greatest of them all. A perfect way to spend a late fall weekend.” – Music Director John DeMain
