Walk of Fame Honoree Lang Lang Seeks to Inspire Kids by Linking Classical Music and Disney Songs
SEO DEK: Walk of Fame honoree Lang Lang seeks to inspire young audiences by linking classical music and Disney songs.
Now 41, he has spent half his life on stages around the world, stunning listeners with his technical proficiency and annoying critics with his theatricality and showmanship.

Since then, the musician has been the featured keyboard soloist on the third and fourth installments of the Hans Zimmer-scored “Kung Fu Panda” series, and on James Newton Howard’s score for “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.” His prominence in the classical world brought extra attention to Anne Dudley’s theme for TV’s “Poldark” when he performed her prelude as a solo piano piece.
