Like a real rock star, the 32 year old virtuoso has conquered
the word of music in its broadest sense. With his trendy look, his
talent and his generosity, he transcends classical music and blends
every tempo. His renowned duos with the Four Horsemen from
Metallica, Jazzman Herbie Hancock or
the Tenor Placido Domingo have demonstrated his boundless mastery
of the ivories and the ease with which he permanently reinvents
himself. His spontaneous music is built from improvisations.
Lang Lang is audacious and sets out
to surprise. No repertoire is beyond him. This on stage phenomenon
has followed an atypical route to stardom and he has a sparkling
and generous personality whose aura melds perfectly with the Hublot
philosophy.
The internationally renowned prodigy did not shrink back from
adding to the 80 tour dates that already fill his diary. Two
locations, two audiences and two improvised repertoires for two
exclusive concerts. His passion makes the young man tireless. He
has boundless energy and takes pleasure in sharing his music and
emotions. It would appear that he has more in common with Hublot
than first meets the eye.
Musical summer getaways
Destination - The
Mediterranean coast
PORTO CERVO
- July 1, 2015
The young pianist gave an original and unique private concert in
Harrods' Village in the heart of the Porto Cervo Marina.
Lang Lang improvised on stage for 30
minutes drawing his inspiration from his surroundings. An exclusive
concert on the sidelines of his world tour, to which 50 friends and
elected representatives were invited by Hublot.
Lang Lang came to the Emerald
Coast by boat. Like many artists, the virtuoso has his rituals and
his cherished items; he never performs without his own piano, a
Steinway, and his watch, a Big Bang Carbon Bezel Baguette
Diamonds.
The fact he was there on that day was not down to chance. A
major event occurred on July 1, the
official inauguration of the Hublot summer store in the Harrods'
village at Porto Cervo, of which Hublot is a partner. Ten golden
fingers cut the ribbon.
ST TROPEZ - July 2,
2015
600 km and a few hours later, the pianist landed in St
Tropez,and was welcomed by Jean-Claude
Biver, Chairman of Hublot and Chairman of LVMH Watches
Division. After a warm welcome in keeping with Hublot's style, all
the guests went to Club 55 to celebrate his birthday.
Early in the evening, Lang Lang
was expected in the heart of the Citadelle. He performed in the
famous Place des Lices at White 1921, a pop-up boutique hotel. The
virtuoso gave free reign to his imagination for 30 minutes of
improvisation.
This concert also marks Hublot's support for Lang Lang's work to prevent illegal trading in
ivory from elephant tusk. The young prodigy is committed to
supporting the Ivory Free campaign with Wild Aid, The African
Wildlife Foundation and Save the Elephants. Hublot is backing the
cause for two months starting in July by donating part of the
profit from its St-Tropez store.
