Lang Lang is a global phenomenon. He has performed for presidents, monarchs and on stage at the Grammy Awards, and now returns to Sydney for this very special recital.

Lang Lang at the Sydney Opera House

In a night of intimate Romantic music, Lang Lang’s ability to draw out long, elegant melodies will bring new depth to the music of Chopin and Schumann. Opening with one of Fauré’s most popular works, the Pavane, he sets the scene for a concert full of feeling.

Kreisleriana is one of Schumann’s most intricate works. Moody and passionate, it reveals the composer’s brilliant ability to capture the complexity of human emotion, and demands a great deal from the performer, so it’s thrilling to witness.

Chopin’s energetic Mazurkas allow Lang Lang to really showcase his versatility. Each piece has a different mood and character, demonstrating the Romantic master’s inexhaustible gift for composing wonderful melodies. The combination of Chopin’s innovation with Lang Lang’s interpretation will make for an incredible experience.

Don’t miss one of today's most entertaining and acclaimed pianists performing in recital in the iconic Sydney Opera House Concert Hall.

Please note, this performance will only feature Lang Lang. Musicians of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra will not perform.
