His playing, celebrated worldwide for its blend of virtuosity and nuanced balance, reveals both panache and purity.

He will also return to major venues such as London’s BBC Proms, the Philadelphia Orchestra with Yannick Nézet-Séguin, and the New York Philharmonic. Further highlights include his return to the Wiener Philharmoniker and performances with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks in Korea, Japan, and Taiwan under Sir Simon Rattle, following a Brahms concerto in Munich.
