Chinese pianist Lang Lang, currently on a national tour, performs in Wuxi on July 25. Even rain and an approaching typhoon couldn't stop ardent classical music fans from heading to the Wuxi Grand Theatre for a performance by renowned pianist Lang Lang on July 25, with the soloist treating the crowd to a thrilling recital of Bach's Goldberg Variations. "I'm a huge fan of Lang Lang and it was my first time to see him in person," said local resident Li Lingyan. Inspired by traditional folk music like Er Quan Ying Yue, Lang has been at the forefront of moves to promote Chinese culture by mixing western and eastern instruments. In recent years, Lang has teamed up with Chinese folk orchestras and individual musicians to introduce more classical Chinese music pieces on various stages, from festive galas to international events like the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
