has just played a concert and masterclass for over 5,000 mostly children, featuring

his two proteges from the foundation.

Lang Lang thank you so much for joining me today. Thank you it's such a pleasure

We just heard the concert which was incredible, mostly children out there, was it different

for you to play to such a different audience?

Today our aim is to inspire the next generation of music lovers and musicians and we were

so happy to have this Sunday matinee and we can have this incredible stage and to do it

together with two of the most incredible students from our foundation.

He's a brilliant pianist and he's taught me a lot of things on the piano and it really

helps me with my playing.

I think performing in front of so many people is really really a lot of fun and the duet

with Lang Lang was really really amazing.

No matter whether your professional or

not professional, music needs to give us the positive love and the positive soul and positive

emotion first and this is something that will make a huge difference when they start practice

they have a hope, they have a dream, they have love. Rather than depressed, bored & disappointed.

How difficult was it for you, coming from China, mastering the European composers?

For me learning music is like learning a culture and language. And the earlier you start you

are more used to this culture and for me, I started to play piano before I can actually

talk and so in a way I hear mozart the same time as listening to chinese music. And I

start to know Listz the same time as when Im watching Tom and Jerry and Transformers

and monkey king cartoons and so in a way this culture for me is also a part of me, inside

of my heart, so I never really felt difficult.
