Star upon NAC
A group music lovers and students had a fabulous morning earlier today (2003-09-24). It
was our great pleasure to see Lang Lang, pianist and the latest
international shining start on the classical music stage.
Lang Lang was born in Shengyang, China and now lives in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. Although he is only 21 this year, he has played with several
greatest symphony orchestras. They include the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the
Berlin Philharmonic, etc.
Above all, he has been widely exalted for his engaging style in handling
his music. The concentrated emotional content streaming from his figures on
the piano key is so mesmerizing, that you would forget that you are
watching a piano show. Rather, you would get the feeling of emerging in the
music and being part of the piece he plays.
More than 70 people showed up in his pre-show rehearsal. Among them
included reporters from all Ottawa English and Chinese news organizations.
After his rehearsal, Lang Lang had a chat with us and answered many
questions from us. He even told stories from his childhood in China and how
he learned how to play piano.
The event was organized by OACCUA- Ottawa Chinese Canadian Alumni
Association.
Lang Lang is playing with the National Arts Centre tonight and tomorrow night.
