Joyce Yang has been acclaimed as "the most gifted young pianist of her generation" with a "million volt" presence. The 2010 winner of an Avery Fisher Career Grant, she was also the Silver Medalist at the 12th Van Cliburn International Competition in 2005. Yang has been continually engaged by orchestras across the U.S. and abroad performing with (among others) the Chicago, National and Houston Symphonies, and the BBC and Hong Kong Philharmonics. Harvey Steinman, in The Aspen Times, writes, "Joyce Yang is more than a young pianist who can dazzle with sheer technique. What makes her special is what she does with music."
