A
musical destiny was in store from his first year of life, and Lang Lang would
grow to channel the emotions of the great composers though the piano.
Celebrating the 20th season of the International Music Festival, this
virtuoso joins the Macao Orchestra in the lyricism of Chopin. Then they turn the
page to the extravagance of Tchaikovsky, taking Lang Lang back to one of the
greatest nights of his career. He was 17 when he filled in last-minute for Andre
Watts at the Ravinia Festival's Gala of the Century, ensuring his place among
the stars with the very same piece that will bring his concert to a close in
Macao.
