“You know he has eleven fingers. He plays the piano like a cat with eleven fingers.” -Daniel Barenboim
Few superstars in classical music are as thrilling as Lang Lang. Heralded as the “hottest artist on the classical music planet” by The New York Times, Lang Lang’s break into stardom came at age 17, when he was called upon as a dramatic lastminute substitution at the “Gala of the Century,” playing a Tchaikovsky concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Since that time he has played in every major city in the world and was seen by over four billion people when he performed at the opening of the Beijing Olympic Games. As a symbol of the youth and future of China, Lang Lang is credited with inspiring 40 million Chinese children to learn classical piano, a phenomenon coined by the “Today” show as “the Lang Lang effect.”
