Yuja cancels Yannick

Yuja cancels Yannick

A day before playing both Ravel concertos in one concert with Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Orchestre Métropolitain, Yuja Wang has pulled out on grounds of ill-health.

The concert, at Canada’s Festival de Lanaudière, had been billed as ‘Yannick and Yuja: Explosive!’

Marc-André Hamelin has agreed to jump in.
