The concert follows a exhilarating performance for Carnegie Hall audiences in the summer of 2019 when she joined NYO2, one of Carnegie’s talented national youth ensembles. Her sizzling rendition of her own composition, ‘Latin’ Concerto for Piano, won acclaim, with The New York Times writing, “her playing has everything: crackling rhythmic brio, subtle shadings, steely power in climactic moments, soulful lyricism in the ruminative passages and, best of all, unsentimental expressivity.”
