Lang Lang at the Grammy Museum on Wednesday

Colleen and I enjoyed an interview with the great young Chinese pianist, Lang Lang last evening. The interview was conducted by the CEO of the Grammy Museum, Robert Santelli.  After the hour long interview, Lang Lang gave a wonderful performance of  Tchaikovsky, Mozart, and Chopin music.  His final gift was playing a very fast Chinese composition.

Lang Lang will be performing at the Grammy awards on Sunday with Metalica...the rock band.  This should be interesting.  He is 31 years old and lives in New York now with frequent trips to China.  His English is very American and very good.  He said that his favorite orchestra and conductor is the L.A. Phil with Gustavo Dudamel.  He seemed genuine...but his also very diplomatic.  Here are a few pictures of the interview and his performance at the intimate Grammy museum auditorium at L.A. Live.
