Lang Lang

Tuesday, July 15, 2008

25-year-old pianist Lang Lang is one of the most talked-about classical musicians of our day. He joins us to share his new memoir "Journey of a Thousand Miles," which chronicles his journey from an industrial city in northern China to his difficult years in Beijing to his success today.

Lang Lang will be performing Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in Central Park on Jul. 15. The show, which starts at 8 p.m., is part of the New York Philharmonic Concerts in the Parks series.

    I had an interesting experience las saturday in Brooklyn. I got at 5p.m. to the 'summer day party @ the yard' festival -which started at noon-, just to see "Shy Child" that played at 6p.m. The entrance was $10 bucks. They played a few songs, but i liked the fact that i went in and out, just for the Shy Child set.

    And i have to say, that the sound was great!

    ...enventhough i don't like outdoor concerts either. So the practicality of thes event

    is something to congratulate. One day, a bunch of indie bands, very well organized and,

    you get in and out as you pleased without any problems.
