The Carnegie Corridor YouTube Chan­nel units the scene:

On Jan­u­ary 28, 2023, pianist Yuja Wang joined The Philadel­phia Orches­tra and con­duc­tor Yan­nick Nézet-Séguin at Carnegie Corridor for a once-in-a-life­time, all-Rach­mani­noff marathon that fea­tured the composer’s 4 piano con­cer­tos plus his “Rhap­sody on a Theme of Pagani­ni.” Thru­out the consistent with­for­mance, Wang—together with Nézet-Séguin, mem­bers of the orches­tra, and con­cert­pass­ers in attendance—wore gadgets to trace their center­beats.
