Hello! I am writing from Wharton Center for Performing Arts: we are very exciting to be presenting Chinese pianist Lang Lang on September 28 here in East Lansing and think this would be a great opportunity to work with the West Michigan Asian American Association to get the word out about the performance, and even have a group attend. I noticed your website lists “cultural presentations of talented Asian performing artists” as part of your programs – I think it’s safe to say that Lang Lang, as arguably the best classical pianist performing today, would definitely fit that bill! Group discounts are available and there are also specially-priced $15 and $25 student tickets as well. More information about the performance can be found below.
Thanks so much and let me know what you think!

“Lang Lang is a rock star.” –The Wall Street Journal
“The hottest artist on the classical music planet.” –The New York Times
A prodigy who made his Beijing Concert Hall debut at age 13, Lang Lang became an overnight sensation at age 17 when he stepped in on short notice to perform with the Chicago Symphony. Since that time, he has dazzled audiences with his stunning virtuosity and passion, playing sold-out recitals and concerts in every major city in the world. In 2009, he appeared on Time’s annual list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World, with an influence that has inspired over 40 million Chinese children to learn to play classical piano – a phenomenon termed by the TODAY show as “the Lang Lang effect,” which continues as strong as ever.
Don’t miss your chance to see this ebullient, extraordinary piano superstar in his Wharton Center debut.
