Hosted by Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin, The one-night-only concert will feature special guests, including Grammy Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell, Grammy and Tony Award-winning jazz artist Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Danish singer-songwriter Oh Land.
Lang Lang will offer solo piano works by Frederic Chopin, and Joshua Bell will join him, for the first time ever, in a performance of the Grieg Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 3 in C minor. Dee Dee Bridgewater will sing Broadway hits, and six child prodigies from three different continents, who have been supported by the Foundation in their music studies, will perform alongside Lang Lang.
