If any tickets remain the night of the concert, they will be an additional $3 when purchased at the door. WCPN's Around Noon will feature a live, phone interview with Lang Lang on Monday, March 22. The first Chinese pianist to be engaged by the Berlin Philharmonic and all Big Five American orchestras, Lang Lang played his first public recital at the age of five, after winning the Shenyang Piano Competition. He had been playing piano for two years. The story of his big break is the stuff of stage door legend. In 1999, when he was 17, he filled in at the last minute for an indisposed André Watts at the Ravinia Festival's Gala of the Century. As the unknown teenager began performing Tchaikovsky's first concerto with the Chicago Symphony, under the baton of Christoph Eschenbach, he let rip a thundering series of chords and the audience snapped to attention, wrote Wynne Delacoma of the Chicago Sun-Times

Extractions: Lang Lang (born 1982) Yes, his name sounds like it might be well suited to a Panda bear, but pianist Lang Lang is considered to be one of the greatest young musicians in the world. He's been performing in public ever since he was five years old, winning a competition playing the works of Chopin and Liszt. Lang Lang was born in Shenyang, the fifth largest city in China. At the age of 15, he moved to the United States to study at Philadelphia's Curtis School of Music. PBS's "In My Life" website asked Lang Lang who his heroes are: "Musically, it was Vladimir Horowitz, who was the greatest pianist of the last century, and also another pianist, Arthur Rubinstein. My personal role model was Michael Jordan. And then when I came to America, it was Tiger Woods, too. Both Jordan and Woods have such great discipline and they’re not only athletes, they’re artists. It’s amazing to watch them play because they’re both so natural, dedicated, and talented." How did he get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, he told PBS: "I woke up every day at 5:00 am to practice piano for an hour. Then I went to school until 3:00 pm, came home, practiced piano some more, and then did homework in the evening. I practiced piano five hours a day!"

Extractions: CLEMSON An internationally acclaimed pianist will perform at Clemson University's Brooks Center for the Performing Arts July 15 at 8 p.m. Lang Lang, at age 16 already the winner of the Tchaikovsky International Young Pianist Competition and the Xing Hai Cup Piano Competition, has been hailed for his maturity and depth of performance. This is the first ever summer concert in the Utsey Chamber Music Series. All Utsey Series events are free. "I am very excited to be able to present such an exciting young artist to our audience," said Lillian Harder, director of the Brooks Center. "Lang Lang is widely regarded as one of the most talented young musicians in the world." The pianist has performed with the Moscow Philharmonic, the Boston Chamber Orchestra, the Sendai Symphony of Japan, the National Symphony Orchestra of Singapore and the National Symphony of China. He played at the debut performance of the China Symphony Orchestra in September of 1996 with President Jiang Ze Min in attendance.

Extractions: CLEMSON "He's hot!" raves Lillian Harder, the director of the Brooks Center for the Performing Arts, about the piano superstar Lang Lang, who will perform at the Clemson University arts center in November. "He's the hottest classical music performer of the year. He's absolutely remarkable!" Harder is right on that score. Lang Lang's latest recording Lang Lang Plays Tchaikovsky and Mendelssohn is at the top of the classical music charts. He's in the middle of a world tour that will take him to the four corners of the globe. He's been featured recently in People magazine (Sept. 2003) and The New York Times , and his television appearances are too numerous to count.
Extractions: It was a strange match indeed to which the Malaysian audience was treated on November 10 at the Dewan Filharmonik Petronas a 19 year-old Chinese pianist and an almost 200 year-old Russian orchestra. But for the large crowd that turned up to listen to this "East meets West" pairing, it was a match made in Heaven. Fresh from a performance in Taipei the night before, this is the St. Petersburg Philharmonics second visit to KL and also their last stop before returning to St. Petersburg. The evening saw a return to the orchestras roots as it featured a selection of three pieces by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninov who, according to Music Director and Chief Conductor, Maestro Yuri Temirkanov, once played with and conducted this very orchestra.
Piano Prodigy Makes Up For Inconsistent Orchestra lang lang, a young and very accomplished pianist, joined the CSO to perform Bartóks second piano concerto. From the moment he appeared on stage, http://maroon.uchicago.edu/voices/articles/2005/01/14/piano_prodigy_makes_.php
Extractions: Advanced Search / Archives Preferences A conglomeration of early classical musictwo Haydn symphonies, No. 86 in D Major and No. 99 in E-flat minor, flanked by the early modern Bartók Piano Concerto No. 2made for an unusual concert at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on January 6. The result, although initially disconcerting, proved to be dazzling upon better acquaintance with the material. Although vastly different stylistically and tonally, the combination of old and modern allowed the audience to explore new dimensions of both. The hidden melodic nature of Bartóks music accrued the greatest advantage by far. Haydns inclination to favor the charming melody over harmony created an atmosphere in which Bartóks own simple melodies shone through his incessant and overpowering atonal harmonies. The Haydn work also benefited from this comparison; it appeared after the Bartók as a fresh and powerful work rather than the usual carefully calculated piece. However, the performance was unpredictable and oscillated between brilliance and its antithesis. The orchestra began with Haydns earlier symphony, appearing to be uncomfortable and hesitant. The first violin section especially suffered from a weak and scratchy melodic timbre. The bows treaded lightly and wavered uncontrollably on the strings. Although it is true that Haydn should not be played with untoward gusto, neither should he be played so lightly that the melody appears consumptive.

Extractions: Chinese Pianist Lang Lang to Perform at Shriver Hall Acclaimed Chinese pianist Lang Lang will perform at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 21, as part of the 2003-2004 Shriver Hall Concert Series in Shriver Hall Auditorium on The Johns Hopkins University's Homewood campus, 3400 N. Charles St. in Baltimore. Lang Lang's big break came in 1999 at the age of 17 when he filled in at the last minute for Andr Watts at the Ravinia Festival's "Gala of the Century," playing the Tchaikovsky piano concerto with the Chicago Symphony. The fateful substitution precipitated some landmark performances for Lang Lang, including his sold-out Carnegie Hall debut, a performance in Bejing's Great Hall of the People with the Philadelphia Orchestra on its 100th anniversary tour, and a popular BBC "Proms" debut, prompting The Times of London's critic to write: "Lang Lang took a sold-out Albert Hall by storm. .This could well be history in the making."

Extractions: TCHAIKOVSKY, MENDELSSOHN: FIRST PIANO CONCERTOS; LANG LANG, PIANIST; CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA/DANIEL BARENBOIM, CONDUCTOR (DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON) - Maybe, if Chinese pianist Lang Lang had stuck to Mendelssohn's work on this CD, it would have more appeal. The Mendelssohn concerto is a bright and personable work, well suited to the pianist's light, nimble touch. As it is, though, Lang Lang and the Chicago Symphony under Daniel Barenboim lead off with the Tchaikovsky, a war-horse if ever there was one - the thunderous brass opening perhaps as famous as any piece of classical music ever written. It's an old story, but worth repeating. Tchaikovsky wrote the piece with a Russian pianist named Nicolai Rubinstein in mind, but Rubinstein hated it, telling the composer to his face it was unplayable and vulgar. Tchaikovsky stood his ground, however, and refused to change a note. The piece has been hugely popular since its premiere in Boston in 1875.
