August 2023 - Water Mill, NY:<br/><br/>Under a sky full of stars, shining a bright glow directed towards the musical stars of tomorrow….on stage before an audience the students offered an inspirational performance for the patrons and supporters of the Lang Lang International Music Foundation in the Hamptons.<br/><br/>Chinese born pianist Lang Lang is an international superstar, who tours the world with more than 120 performances each year and performs with the world’s top orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic and the Vienna Philharmonic, which make Lang Lang one of the most desired music stars of our times. <br/><br/>If one word applies to Lang Lang, to the musician, to the man, to his worldview, to those who come into contact with him, it is “inspiration”. It resounds like a musical motif through his life and career. He inspires millions with his open-hearted, emotive playing, whether it be in intimate recitals or on the grandest of stages ..<br/><br/>Yet he never forgets what first inspired, and continues to inspire him. Great artists, above all the great composers – Liszt, Chopin and the others – whose music he now delights in bringing to others. <br/><br/>As a child - the joy and excitement of discovering music stays with him and propels him to what he calls “his second career”, bringing music into the lives of children around the world, both through his work for the United Nations and through his own Lang Lang International Music Foundation. <br/><br/>As he inspires, he is inspired. As he is inspired, he inspires others. It is this quality, perhaps, that led the New Yorker to call him “the world’s ambassador of the keyboard”.<br/><br/>On this glorious night, hosted by Christopher Burch, the Lang Lang Music Foundation Chairman, it was a night to meet the Young Scholars and enjoy their performances and to take in what they have learned in their young careers.<br/><br/>The name Lang Lang means ‘brilliance of the sky - but on this night, it was the brilliance of the keyboard on the ground that demonstrated the power of music.<br/><br/>#langlang #foundation #music #musiceducation #pianist #pianomusic #watermill #hamptons #pianoconcert #singing #educationmatters #musicmatters #piano #duet #liszt #chopin #chinesemusic #scholar<br/>
