Playing with Fire: Yuja Wang
Experience a unique musical and visual world featuring a virtual piano performance by world-renowned pianist Yuja Wang. This immersive event combines surrealistic animations and spatial audio with a precise acoustic recreation of Yuja’s performance using Steinway Spirio self-playing technology, synchronised with her digital avatar. The programme, personally selected by Yuja, explores the theme of fire as a spark of human imagination, moving from the light of Bach to the revolutionary energy of Stravinsky and Prokofiev. The experience is enhanced by the artistic collaboration of director Pierre-Alain Giraud and artist Gabríela Friðriksdóttir, and includes Yuja sharing personal reflections on her journey from China to the global stage. Please note that Yuja Wang does not appear in person. This is a virtual concert featuring a pre-recorded avatar presented in an immersive environment.
