Lang Lang 2016 Auckland Piano Recital

15/6/2016

The Lang Lang 2016 Auckland Piano Recital on 12 June 2016 was a huge success!

It was a great honor for Able Music Studio to be a part of it. We were told that it was the first time ever that the Civic Theatre had a full house, with sold out tickets - since it was built! We were please to hear Lang Lang's comments on the Auckland piano pupils - "Auckland's piano level is really high" and " it was the best performance with young pianists ever" .

Let's look at some of the highlights of the night!
