Ryan Wang burst into the international spotlight when he showed off his prodigious piano talents on the Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2013 at the age of five.
Now, Burnaby audiences will have a chance to hear him live.
The youngster from West Vancouver is taking to the stage with the Vancouver Metropolitan Orchestra for its spring concert in Burnaby. Ryan will be playing Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 2.
The concert also features mezzo-soprano Yenny Lee with Mozart’s aria Parto, Parto, from the opera La Clemenza di Tito.
The orchestra, conducted by Ken Hsieh, will also perform Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 (Eroica).
It’s onstage at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 11 at Michael J. Fox Theatre, 7373 MacPherson Ave. in Burnaby. There’s a pre-concert talk at 1:30 p.m.
