SPECIAL EVENT

Lang Lang is one of the most celebrated and recognized figures in classical music. As a pianist, educator, and philanthropist he has become an influential and committed ambassador for the arts in the 21st century. Equally happy playing for countless viewers at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing or for a few hundred children in public schools, he is a master of communicating through music. Heralded by the New York Times as “the hottest artist on the classical music planet,” Lang Lang makes a return to Hodgson Concert Hall for the first time since his performance with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in 2004.
