About Lang Lang: Pianist LANG LANG plays sold-out recitals and concerts in every major city in the world. In 2008 he was featured in concert with jazz pianist Herbie Hancock at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards, and was a featured performer at the Opening Ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Lang Lang appeared in the 2009 Time 100 -- Time magazine's annual list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. Most recently, he was chosen as an official worldwide ambassador for the 2010 Shanghai Expo. Lang Lang is an inspiration to the 40 million classical piano students in China, and he has made it his mission to broaden the reach of classical music around the world, with a focus on children. In 2004 he was appointed an International Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF), and in 2008 he established the Lang Lang International Music Foundation, with the goal of expanding young audiences and inspiring the next generation of musicians through outreach programs. Lang Lang began playing the piano at age three, and gave his first public recital by age five. He entered Beijing's Central Music Conservatory at age nine, won first prize at the Tchaikovsky International Young Musicians Competition, and played the complete 24 Chopin etudes at the Beijing Concert Hall at age thirteen. Lang Lang's break into stardom came at age 17 when he was called upon as a last-minute substitution at the "Gala of the Century," playing the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Shortly thereafter, he became the first Chinese pianist to be engaged by the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic, and the top American orchestras. He has performed with the New York Philharmonic numerous times: the first was in May 2002 playing Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3, and most recently, in November 2008, playing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1. This August, Sony Classical releases "Live in Vienna," recorded and filmed live in Vienna's legendary Musikverein concert hall. This recital, one of 2010's most eagerly-awaited classical recordings, will be released in its entirety on the following multiple formats: Deluxe limited edition, Blu-ray, DVD, LP vinyl and Digital formats. He has performed the new album's program -- featuring Beethoven, Albeniz, Prokofiev and Chopin - at the world's major concert venues and will continue to tour with it throughout 2011.

    Comparative Analysis of Sarah Brightman and 2 Cellos, Classical Artists Applying Successful Crossover Strategy to Popular Music by Dragana Simonovska A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of College of Business In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL May 2017 Copyright by Dragana Simonovska 2017 ii Acknowledgements I would like to express sincere gratitude to all of my committee members for all of their guidance and support. Special thanks to advisor Dr. Mark Rhorer and committee chair Dr. Joseph Compomizzi, for their persistence, patience and encouragement during the writing of this manuscript. I am also grateful for the support of the FAU Department of Music and Department Chair Rebecca Lautar. iv Abstract Author: Dragana Simonovska Tittle: Comparative Analysis of Sarah Brightman and 2 Cellos, Classical Artists Applying Successful Crossover Strategy to Popular Music Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Joseph Compomizzi Degree: Master of Science Year: 2017 For decades now, musicians have been using crossover to expand their career and earn more knowledge about the music industry. Soprano Sarah Brightman and duo 2 Cellos are classically trained musicians who implemented crossover into their career and used their classical training as guidance of become successful. Musicians who restrict themselves only to classical music may approach danger regarding a career and livelihood, which includes audience interest, employability and financial instability. In this study the term “crossover” refers to classical artists’ who use their skills to perform other genres. Crossover gives artists the chance to appeal to larger audiences and extend their repertoire of music while using techniques used in classical works.

  • Gala, the Red Velvet Ball
    Welcome to the ReD VelVet BAll WIth lANG lANG FROM THE MUSIC DIRECTOR Welcome to the St. Louis Symphony’s annual gala, the Red Velvet Ball. It’s a great party with great music and all for a great cause. Tonight you are supporting the Symphony, helping us to do all that we do—whether it be on the Powell Hall stage, at New York City’s Carnegie Hall, at the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, or in classrooms, places of worship, parks, and hospitals throughout the region as part of our Education and Community programs. Our featured gala artist is the famed pianist Lang Lang. Lang Lang gets invited to the most high-profile gigs: the Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, this year’s World Cup concert in Rio, and a jam with Metallica at the Grammy Awards. For all that, I’m looking forward to working with him because he is such a unique talent and deeply musical artist. I’m also happy that this concert includes a solo performance of Bach by Symphony Principal Flute Mark Sparks. You usually see Mark sit center stage with the orchestra, which is appropriate as his singular virtuosity has helped to define the sound and spirit of the St. Louis Symphony for many years. It will be a joy to experience him as soloist again. A special thank you goes to Red Velvet Ball Co-chairs Lynn and Thriess Britton, as well as Presenting Sponsor World Wide Technology and the Steward Family Foundation. They help make the Gala such a success, and a lot of fun.

Winter 2019-20/3 is here and Winter/2 is here. Earlier editions are archived here.

  • Aged 9, He Hated Playing the Piano So Much He'd Hit His Hands Repeatedly
    Aged 9, he hated playing the piano so much he’d hit his hands repeatedly against the wall. Aged 30, his hands are worth $15 million He’s a classical music superstar with thousands of fans (including Sir Paul McCartney). But before fame, Lang Lang had to survive a childhood where perfection was demanded – at all costs INTERVIEW Tim Teeman PORTRAIT Linda Brownlee n his Manhattan apartment, Central Park a delicious green and brown autumnal carpet 36 storeys below, the superstar pianist Lang Lang shows me the hand exercises he employs after pounding the keys in concert hall after concert hall. The 30-year-old Chinese musician, boyish-pretty with jetted quiff, I stretches his digits, rolls his shoulders and bends his elbows. “I have a massage once every two days on tour. Since I was a teenager I worried about injuring my hands. But you just buy insurance.” He guffaws. “It’s a good psychological way of escaping the darkness of the threat of injury.” The laughter is deceiving. In Journey of a Thousand Miles, his 2008 autobiography, Lang says injuring his arms and hands became “his biggest fear”, realised in 2003 when he hurt himself hitting the ivory keys of one piano too hard. How much are his hands insured for – $1 million? “More than that,” Lang says in almost fluent, only slightly broken English. “I’ve put more money in over the years… I think $15 million.” Does he ever think, “My hands are worth $15 million”? “Oh, they’re worth more than that. You don’t want to exchange your health for it.

  • Series 139 Playland Phonograph
    Westchester County Archives Series 139 2199 Saw Mill River Road Elmsford, New York 10523 Playland Phonograph Collection (914) 231-1500 1911‐1970 (bulk late 1920s‐1950s) Playland Phonograph Collection, 1911-1970, bulk late 1920s-1950s Series 139 Approximately 650 phonographs. Unarranged. Phonographs – both 10 and 12 inch – played from the Playland Music Tower and possibly the Playland Ice Casino. The collection includes classical music as well as popular tunes, including some Hawaiian-themed music. The collection is divided into five parts – a set of numbered records; numbered and unnumbered album collections; loose phonographs, and phonographs that were housed in their original album jackets. The album jackets have Braille identification tags because the disc jockey who worked at the Playland Music Tower was blind. There are two different indexes on note cards for the phonograph albums, but neither one appears to be complete or clear as to its exact use. Therefore, a new index has been completed by Archives’ volunteers. Please note: The Archives does not have playback equipment necessary to listen to the phonographs that make up this collection. The five subseries of this collection can be more fully described as follows: 1. A set of numbered records. These phonographs have individual number labels on them and run up through number 998. Each individual phonograph has 2 numbers on it – one for each side. However, the collection is not complete and there are only about 350 individual phonographs in this group. They were originally housed in 39 cardboard cases that held several individual phonographs. Due to the poor condition of these cases they were disposed during processing, although the case number was recorded.
