Lang Lang

Lang Lang, the Chinese pianist, brings a classical programme to Bridgewater Hall in Manchester. The concert is a chance to hear one of the best-known pianists of the international concert circuit in person.

Lang Lang is a Chinese classical pianist who has built an international career performing with leading orchestras and recording for Deutsche Grammophon. The discography includes albums devoted to Chopin and Liszt, and the pianist founded the Lang Lang International Music Foundation, which supports young musicians.

Bridgewater Hall, on Lower Mosley Street, is a concert and performance venue in Manchester and the home of the Hallé orchestra. Its programme covers orchestral, chamber and solo music, so the hall suits audiences who follow piano recitals and concertos in the classical repertoire.

This evening is a classical solo appearance by Lang Lang at the hall, and it draws on the pianist's established reputation in the concert repertoire. Listeners interested in the Romantic piano tradition will find the pianist's recordings a useful introduction before attending.
