Our Principal Violist Teng Li and Associate Principal Clarinetist Yao Guang Zhai have been friends with pianist Yuja Wang since they were children. Last June they were all in Toronto to perform in our Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 2 concert and we got a chance to chat with them about their remarkable friendship, musical collaborations, their time together at the Curtis Institute of Music, and the "Year of the Horse: A Chinese New Year's Celebration" concert they will all play in.
Special thanks to the PaintBox Bistro for providing the space for this interview.
