Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto and one of the hottest artists on the classical music planet.
Lang Lang made his break to stardom, stepping in to play Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the age of 17. It was a concerto that he’d always dreamed of performing as a boy, and now it’s become one of his signature pieces.
Experience the flamboyant stage presence and stunning virtuosity of Lang Lang when he performs this Tchaikovsky concerto with the Sydney Symphony.
Lang Lang has become possibly the “hottest artist on the classical music planet” (The New York Times).
