Yuja Wang fans’ woes eased by brilliant Mahler Chamber Orchestra in Brahms double bill

Leaving fans disappointed enough that concert organisers feel compelled to apologise and offer refunds is not how any star musician would want their performance to be remembered. Yet that was the fallout from the second of Chinese-American pianist Yuja Wang’s Hong Kong concerts with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra – part of Premiere Performances’ 20th anniversary season – after Alexander Tsfasman’s Jazz Suite for Piano and Orchestra was dropped at the last minute for “artistic reasons”.

How the epic Big Timer films dominated Hong Kong’s early 1990s box office
