Tonight we revisit our studio visit with accordionist Hanzhi Wang as a part of our festival of summer encores. The first accordionist to win a place on the roster of Young Concert Artists in the organization's 58-year history, Hanzhi Wang talked about her path to the instrument, and also how it works. Her program featured her own accordion arrangements of Bach, Mozkowski, Mozart, and a piece written for her by Martin Lohse.
