Guitar Virtuoso Hao Yang in Concert—An Evening of Classical Guitar Music from Around the World

Join acclaimed classical guitarist Hao Yang as she brings her extraordinary talent to the stage, fresh off winning the prestigious 2024 Koblenz International Guitar Competition, “Hubert Käppel,” and placing second at the 2024 GFA International Concert Artist Competition. A recipient of the Clifton Foundation’s Emerging Artists Award, she has captivated audiences at Carnegie Hall, the Kimmel Center, Miller Theatre, and the National Centre for the Performing Arts, and has appeared as soloist with the Chursächsische Philharmonie in Germany. A passionate chamber musician, Hao made her Carnegie Hall debut premiering “Talking Guitars” by composer Paul Lansky, and regularly collaborates across diverse ensemble settings—from guitar quintets to voice and guitar—bringing fresh perspectives to both traditional and contemporary repertoire.
