Chinese pianist Xiaohui Yang was the winner of the 2017 Naumburg International Piano Competition. As a part of her prize, the Naumburg Foundation commissioned famed Chicago composer Shulamit Ran to write a solo piano piece, Ballade, to be premiered by Yang at her Carnegie Hall debut. Guarneri Hall has partnered with the Naumburg Foundation to produce a video of this new masterpiece, played brilliantly by one of the most vibrant emerging pianists on the stage today.
