Joyce Yang

Joyce Yang could easily be elected mayor of Salida if she weren't so busy touring the world, soloing with almost all the major orchestras in the U.S. and abroad. 

She has soloed with the New York Philharmonic more than 30 times, and also soloed with the Chicago Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic and the symphony orchestras of Baltimore, Detroit, San Francisco, Sydney and Toronto. She has played solo under such distinguished conductors as Edo de Waart, Lorin Maazel and Leonard Slatkin. 

She has played recitals at New York's Lincoln Center and Metropolitan Museum, Washington D.C.'s Kennedy Center and Chicago's Symphony Hall. She has also played for internationally known chamber music ensembles -- including at Salida Aspen Concerts.
