The SF Symphony 2012-2013 season has been announced, and although J-Fi will be back (as well as her replacement at Pentatone, Arabella Steinbacher), the big news is that Yuja Wang will appear TWICE this season.
On October 31, she plays the Prokofiev Second, and on March 6/8/9, she plays the Beethoven Fourth. I'm sure this is not unprecedented, but I don't remember seeing the same soloist twice in one season on two separate series - especially as widely spaced as these dates are.
I guess we all know who's packing in the audiences these days!
