Montenegro International Piano Festival sa zadovoljstvom predstavlja recital Yuanfana Yanga, laureata Ricard Viñes International Piano Competition i jednog od najzanimljivijih mladih umjetnika svoje generacije.

Njegov program povezuje Mocarta, Debisija, Rahmanjinova i Bartoka sa umjetnošću improvizacije, otvarajući prostor za susret pažljivo oblikovanih remek-djela i muzike nastale u samom trenutku izvođenja. Tokom večeri, Yang će stvarati muziku inspirisanu temama i stilovima koje predlaže publika, čineći svako izvođenje jedinstvenim i neponovljivim.

Veče virtuoziteta, mašte i nepredvidivosti.
