Piano icon of our time, Lang Lang, transcends eras as he brings to life the melodic genius of two of the greatest composers and pianists of all time, Chopin & Schumann, in one very special performance of their works at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, 21 April 2025.
Exploring the magic of Chopin's famous Mazurkas dance-miniatures, Lang Lang performs a hand selected collection ranging from Op 1 right through to Op 59, with a very special performance of Chopin's piano solo Polonaise in F# minor Op.44. With his mazurkas, Chopin formed an unparalleled archetype of the musical stylisation of traditional, national, authentic folk repertory, which will be gloriously realised through the incomparable genius of Lang Lang in this live performance. Viewed by many as Schumann's greatest ever work, and dedicated to Frederic Chopin, Lang Lang will also reignite the live exuberance of the eight movementKreisleriana, Op. 16. Dramatic and moving, Schumann stated that this was his most favourite work.
19thCentury pianists without equal in their generation, brought to life at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall by the untouchable pianist of our generation - the legend that is Lang Lang.

Lang Lang:is a leading figure in classical music today - as a pianist, educator and philanthropist he has become one of the world's most influential and committed ambassadors for the arts in the 21st century. Equally happy playing for billions of viewers at the 2008 Olympic Opening Ceremony in Beijing or just for a few hundred children in the public schools, he is a master of communicating through music.
Heralded by the New York Times as ‘the hottest artist on the classical music planet', Lang Lang plays sold-out concerts all over the world. He has formed ongoing collaborations with conductors including Sir Simon Rattle, Gustavo Dudamel, Daniel Barenboim and Christoph Eschenbach and performs with all the world's top orchestras. Lang Lang is known for thinking outside the box and frequently steps into different musical worlds. His performances at the GRAMMY Awards with Metallica, Pharrell Williams or jazz legend Herbie Hancock were watched by millions of viewers.
For about a decade Lang Lang has contributed to musical education worldwide. In 2008 he founded the Lang Lang International Music Foundation aimed at cultivating tomorrow's top pianists, championing music education at the forefront of technology, and building a young audience through live music experiences. In 2013 Lang Lang was designated by the Secretary General of the United Nations as a Messenger of Peace focusing on global education.
