York Times, Lang Lang has played sell-out concerts in
every major city in the world and is the first Chinese pianist to be engaged by
the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic Orchestras as well as the top orchestras of
America. Over two billion people viewed Lang Lang’s performance during Beijing’s
opening ceremony for the 29th Olympic Games. Lang Lang began playing piano at
the age of three, and by the age of five he had already won the Shenyang
competition and given his first public recital. Entering Beijing’s Central Music
Conservatoire at the age of nine, he won first prize at the Tchaikovsky
International Young Musicians’ Competition and played the complete twenty-four
Chopin Йtudes at the Beijing Concert Hall at the age of thirteen. His break into
international stardom came at seventeen, when Lang Lang performed the
Tchaikovsky Concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. In the 2008–2009
season, Lang Lang is holding residencies in Chicago, Toronto, San Francisco,
London, Rome and Stockholm. Outreach events are organised in co-operation with
the Lang Lang International Music Foundation, launched with support from the

Best Instrumental Soloist in 2008 for a Grammy. Lang Lang
serves as global brand ambassador for Sony Electronics and continues his
honoured relationship with Audi Automobiles as their global brand ambassador. He
is also an International Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, a Young Global Leader
(selected by the World Economic Forum) and Chairman of the Montblanc de la
Culture Arts Patronage Award Project. Moreover, the pianist currently serves on
the Weill Music Institute Advisory Committee and is a member of Carnegie Hall’s
