Piano virtuoso Lang to play Dole Cannery

Lang Lang, the effusive piano virtuoso from China, will appear in a larger-than-life presentation next month at the Dole Cannery theaters, which will broadcast his performance of Franz Liszt’s “Piano Concerto No. 1” and other works.

The performance, scheduled for Oct. 22 and repeating Oct. 24, will be in celebration of Liszt’s 200th birthday. He will play with the Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Charles Dutoit.

Lang Lang, 29, recently completed a recording of Liszt called “Liszt, My Piano Hero.” Lang Lang burst on the international classical music world at age 17 when he performed with the Chicago Symphony.

Fathom, a media company that broadcasts concerts and musical theater in movie theaters worldwide, is billing the event as the first classical “cinemacast” headlined by a soloist. The presentation will also feature footage from this summer’s iTunes Festival, including interviews and exclusive musical performances.

The broadcasts begin at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $18 and are available at fandango.com or fathomevents.com.
