Amy J. Yang
Staff Accompanist
Praised by Harris Goldsmith of THE NEW YORK CONCERT REVIEW as 'a magnificent artist and poet: everything she touches turns to gold,' pianist Amy J. Yang is a seasoned performer and collaborator. A rising star who 'artistically, has fully arrived' (PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER), Ms. Yang's performances 'elevate joy to the edge of rapture' and 'convey the exuberance and enthusiasm of youth' (FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM).
Ms. Yang has concertized at Weill Recital Hall, Steinway Hall, Gardner Museum, the White House, and Perelman Theatre; at the Marlboro, Ravinia, Caramoor, OK Mozart, and Chamber Music Northwest festivals; and in Europe and Asia. An avid chamber musician, she has collaborated with extraordinary artists as Richard Goode, David Soyer, Peter Wiley, Arnold Steinhardt, Michael Tree, Ida and Ani Kavafian, Miriam Fried, Joseph Lin, Paul Neubauer, Kim Kashkashian, and Anne-Marie McDermott.
She is currently planning her debut CD as well as initiating 'The Schumann Project', a special series of concerts to present Schumann's complete solo piano and chamber works. Soon to be released are live CD's and DVD's of the 'Jose Franch-Ballester and Friends' tour of Spain (Itinerant Records).
Ms. Yang is a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, Juilliard School, and Yale School of Music, where she received the Parisot Prize for an Outstanding Piano Student as well as the Alumni Association Prize. Her principal teachers are Timothy Hester, Claude Frank, Robert McDonald, and Peter Frankl.
