This is an authentic luxury for all those who are in awe of piano talent. Heralded as "the hottest artist on the classical music planet" by the New York Times, Lang Lang has placed sold out recitals in every major city in the world and is the first Chinese pianist to be engaged by the Vienna Philharmonic, the Berlin Philharmonic and all the top American orchestras. Less is not to be expected of the Teatro Pérez Galdós and the doors are open and await Lang Lang with great expectation.

In 2008, over one hundred million people viewed Lang Lang’s performance in Beijing’s opening ceremony for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, where he was seen as a symbol of the youth and future of China. This status has inspired over 40 million Chinese children to learn to play classical piano – a phenomenon coined by The Today Show as “the Lang Lang effect.” Recognizing Lang Lang’s powerful cultural influence, in 2008, the Recording Academy named him their Cultural Ambassador to China. Most recently, Lang Lang has been chosen as an official worldwide ambassador to the 2010 Shanghai Expo.

Lang Lang began playing piano at the age of 3 and by the age of 5 he had won the Shenyang competition and given his first public recital. Entering Beijing’s Central Music Conservatory at age 9, he won first prize at the Tchaikovsky International Young Musicians Competition and played the complete 24 Chopin Studies at the Beijing Concert Hall at age 13. Lang Lang’s break into stardom came at age 17 when he was called upon for a dramatic last-minute substitution at the “Gala of the Century” Concert, playing the Tchaikovsky Concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Following this gigantic debut, he performed successful concerts around the world.
