  • [email protected] YUJA WANG to Repla
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ARTIST CHANGE March 21, 2019 Contact: Deirdre Roddin (212) 875-5700; [email protected] YUJA WANG To Replace Maurizio Pollini In One-Night-Only Performance of SCHUMANN’s Piano Concerto Conducted by MUSIC DIRECTOR JAAP VAN ZWEDEN Program Also To Include J. WAGENAAR’s Cyrano de Bergerac Overture BEETHOVEN’s Symphony No. 7 March 27, 2019 Yuja Wang will replace Maurizio Pollini, who has cancelled in order to fully recover from a brief illness, in the one-night-only performance of Schumann’s Piano Concerto with the New York Philharmonic led by Music Director Jaap van Zweden, Wednesday, March 27, 2019, at 7:30 p.m. The program will also include Johan Wagenaar’s Cyrano de Bergerac Overture and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7. The performance will mark Yuja Wang’s 24th with the New York Philharmonic; she most recently appeared with the Orchestra and Jaap van Zweden in February–March 2018, both in New York and on tour to Asia. She will return next season for performances of Shostakovich’s Concerto No. 1 for Piano, Trumpet, and Strings, June 11–13, 2020, also conducted by Jaap van Zweden and featuring Principal Trumpet Christopher Martin. The Boston Globe wrote of her performance of Schumann’s Piano Concerto last month with the Boston Symphony Orchestra: “Not just a vehicle for virtuosic fireworks, the concerto calls for a keen listening ear and attunement to the larger ensemble… Wang demonstrated all that in spades. Like an elite figure skater or gymnast, the athletic effort she expended was palpable, but if the physical feats took any toll, the audience never saw it.” Biographies Beijing-born pianist Yuja Wang is set to achieve new heights in critical superlatives and audience ovations during the 2018–19 season, through recitals, concert series, season residencies, and extensive tours with some of the world’s most venerated ensembles and conductors.

  • Chef Marcus Samuelsson
    Marcus Samuelsson believes in the power of food and community. “Food is a window into other cultures. ‘Who are you? I want to join you on your journey,’” says the chef and owner of New York City’s Red Rooster Harlem and Ginny’s Supper Club, among other eateries, and host of PBS’s new show No Passport Required. “It’s wonderful and delicious to invite someone over and tell your story through food.” And Samuelsson’s got quite the story. Born in Ethiopia, he was adopted and grew up in Sweden, where he learned to cook with his Swedish grandmother. But he was also heavily influenced by the flavors and cooking techniques of his biological father’s family. Here in the states, he’s rolled those influences and others into his own individual style, showcased at his New York CAN BOND restaurants and establishments as far-flung as London, Bermuda, and COMMUNITIES, Chicago. Here, he shares a little of BRIDGE CULTURES, his story—and his food.

  • Break Down the Barriers Between Fields
    CHAPTERthree Break Down the Barriers Between Fields SEA URCHIN LOLLIPOPS AND D ARWIN’ SFINCHES n early january of 1995, Jan Sandel, the executive I chef at the Swedish restaurant Aquavit in New York City, unexpectedly died of a heart attack. The owner, Håkan Swahn, imme- diately had to find someone to head up the kitchen. He decided to place newly hired Marcus Samuelsson in charge while he searched for a permanent replacement. But Swahn was hesitant because Samuels- son was quite young. “Our organization was big and complex, and our reputation was excellent. It is not the type of operation you just hand over to a twenty-four-year-old,” he explained. In retrospect, it may have been the best decision he ever made. At the time, Aquavit had become a well-respected Manhattan restaurant, with one star from the New York Times. But something strange started happening only weeks after Samuelsson headed up the kitchen. New dishes based on unique combinations of food from all 35 36 Creating the Medici Effect over the world began showing up on the menu. The new items, such as oysters with mango curry sorbet, didn’t always seem to make sense, but they tickled both the imagination and the palate. They were unlike any- thing the guests had ever tasted before. Only three months later Ruth Reichl of the New York Times gave the restaurant a rare three-star review because of its innovative and tasty food.1 Samuelsson was the youngest chef to have ever received such a prestigious rating. “Mr. Samuelsson’s cooking is delicate and beautiful,” she wrote.
