Admission is General $42, Loge $47 and child free with adult. To reserve a child ticket, please call BIG ARTS Marks Box Office at (239) 395-0900.

Yang is accomplished musician and recipient of the The Avery Fisher Career Grant, one of the most prestigious prizes in classical music. "The Washington Post" declares, “Yang’s skill at melding her keyboard tone with the strings suggests musical maturity well beyond her age.”

Yang has performed with the Chicago Symphony, National Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Baltimore Symphony, BBC Philharmonic, National Orchestra of Brazil, Estonian Symphony Orchestra, and Hong Kong Philharmonic. Her professional career took off in 2005, when she became the Silver Medalist of the 12th Van Cliburn International Competition. As the youngest contestant, she swept two additional awards as an all-around winner, receiving the Steven De Groote Memorial Award for Best Performance of Chamber Music with the Takács Quartet, and the Beverley Taylor Smith Award for Best Performance of a New Work.
           
Yang’s concert will include Lieberman’s Gargoyles, Op. 29, Debussy’s Estampes, Bartók's Out of Doors (Five Piano Pieces), Schubert's Impromptu in G-flat major, Op. 90, No. 3, and Schumann’s Fantasiestücke, Op. 12.
