CHINA’S SUPERSTAR PIANIST LANG LANG PERFORMS TO OVER FIVE BILLION VIEWERS AT TODAY’S 2008 SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES OPENING CEREMONY IN BEIJING
Lang Lang performed for over five billion viewers around the globe at the Opening Ceremony of the Beijing 2008 World Olympics on Friday. As part of a multifaceted gala, it was Lang Lang’s role to present the new face and hope of China. While enchanting 90,000 spectators in the stadium and billions of viewers around the world with his charismatic mastery of the piano, he was surrounded by hundreds of dancers forming the shape of a dove of peace with their bodies – certainly a performance to remember.
This exciting opening event was the kick-off for Lang Lang’s extensive activities introducing his homeland's culture to the international audience in connection with the Beijing Olympics. Among others, he will be featured on the US The Today Show and will have a slot presenting the most interesting aspects of China as part of German ZDF’s Olympics TV broadcasting.
Lang Lang records exclusively for Deutsche Grammophon. His new album, featuring Chopin’s Piano Concertos nos. 1 & 2 with Zubin Mehta and the Wiener Philharmoniker, will be released internationally in the autumn of 2008.
