Heralded by The New York Times as “the hottest artist on the classical music planet,” Lang Lang plays sold-out concerts all over the world with all the world’s top orchestras. The Chinese virtuoso pianist who won international acclaim while a teenager, whose expressiveness and charisma made him one of the most sought-after performers in the early 21st century, comes to San Diego to perform the Goldberg Variations, a milestone he just recorded and released in 2020 to great acclaim. His current tour also takes him to the Berlin Philharmonie, Milan’s La Scala, and London’s Barbican, among other storied halls.
