Lang Lang discovered a love for the piano at the age of 2 after watching "The Cat Concerto" – a Tom & Jerry cartoon – and later became one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World. Described by critics as a soloist with "jaw-dropping virtuosity" and "exhilarating flair and brilliance," the international rock-star pianist joins the FWSO's Gala concert for a performance of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1.

The concert will also feature Glinka's Overture to Ruslan and Ludmila, Rachmaninoff's Vocalise, Op. 34, No. 14 and Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture.
