“Joyce Yang is more than a young pianist who can dazzle with sheer technique. What makes her special is what she does with the music. …[she] created moment after moment that surprised a listener with a bit of extra-musical insight.”

Aspen Times

“The sound is bold and modern, yet restrained. The precision of the fingerwork is astounding.”
