In February, my husband and I were back in the Disney Concert Hall to see Yuja Wang play Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 (hey, number two, get it?) to a packed house. At 8 p.m., the house lights went down, someone dropped their cell phone, someone took a prohibited photo of the stage and a reverent hush descended over the concert hall.
The stage door opened and out strode Yuja Wang in a sparkly long dress and 5-inch platform heels, followed shortly by Gustavo Dudamel to thunderous applause.
