The New York Philharmonic with Long Yu, Gil Shaham, and Haochen Zhang marked Lunar New Year 2020 with music by Chinese and Korean composers and Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in Blue.'

The Cliburn Award-winning Chinese-American pianist will perform George Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in Blue' at Lincoln Center's Lunar New Year concert on Jan. 28.

While the pianist's impression is by no means comprehensive due to the short time he has spent here, the notion that the Russian pedagogical culture could be producing lazy students while the United States’ could be producing lazy teachers may not be so far-fetched.

'Rhapsody in Gershwin' is small ensemble jazz at its transformative best.

The pianist devised an unusual program of piano transcriptions of great composers' works by other composers.
