Lang Lang

Lang Lang's first complete Beethoven Piano Concerto cycle in London Heralded as the 'hottest artist on the classical music planet’ by the New York Times, 29-year-old Lang Lang has played sold out recitals and concerts in every major city in the world. In 2008 over 5 billion people viewed his performance in Beijing's opening ceremony for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad and the following year he was named as one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people. Following his sold-out in-the-round performance at the Royal Albert Hall in 2010, Lang Lang returns to the Hall in March 2012 to perform his complete Beethoven Piano Concerto cycle for the first time ever in London.
