Academy of St. Martin in the Fields
The most recorded chamber orchestra in the world, The Academy of St Martin in the Fields, performs tonight in Verizon Hall. The Academy is known for its Mozart recordings with Sir Neville Marriner including the multi award winning soundtrack to the film 'Amadeus'.
Sir Neville Marriner, the founder of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, will conduct tonight's performance. Sir Neville will be joined by twenty-one year-old pianist Yuja Wang who has firmly established herself as one of the most significant pianists of her generation. Wang is a Curtis Institute of Music senior who has already performed with the world’s leading orchestras including the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, and the St. Petersburg Philharmonic.
