Yuja Wang performed at the Municipal Theater of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro on October 4, 2018. 
She was so displeased with the c1998 Hamburg Steinway D concert grand piano that she vowed
to never perform on that instrument again.  In 2024 the action was upgraded with Stanwood Precision
Touch Design in preparation for Yuja's return to the Municipal Theater's stage.   She gave a stellar
performance and never suspected it was the same piano she had so disliked.  She played 8 encores.
