He first received international attention in 2017, appearing on the piano bench alongside Lang Lang to perform the parts intended for Mr. Lang’s injured left hand at Carnegie Hall’s Gala Opening Night. Chick Corea joined them for an unprecedented three-pianist version of Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” with the Philadelphia Orchestra led by Yannick Nézet-Séguin. The WSO is proud to partner with Good Mansion Wines for an exclusive “Wine Tasting to Go” to enjoy during the virtual concert & fundraiser. Pricing is $25 for a single serving (2 wine varieties along with cheese selections) or $40 for two servings (3 wine varieties along with cheese selections). Bottles will be either 750ml or 375ml. Each kit comes with a sweet thank you from the WSO. Quantities are limited, so order promptly by contacting GMW at 304-233-2632. A healthy portion of the proceeds from every sale will be donated to the WSO.
