In the organizer's words:

High-performance musical sport

A single hand must conquer the entire keyboard. Maurice Ravel's Concerto for the Left Hand was originally composed for the one-armed pianist Paul Wittgenstein. Yuja Wang, the extravagant top-class pianist, takes on this challenge of extreme dexterity and then plays a second piano concerto. In Einojuhani Rautavaara's work, composed in 1969, cantabile melodies and arpeggios meet a modern tonal language - a powerful firework display between tradition and new beginnings.
