The Lang Lang Young Scholars Program, created by the Lang Lang International Music Foundation, supports exceptionally talented pianists ages 13–18 at a pivotal stage in their artistic development. Since 2008, more than 60 young musicians from around the world have received world-class mentorship, high-profile performance opportunities, and experiences that shape them as artists and as people.

This recital marks the culmination of the Foundation’s Young Scholars Summer Academy at Curtis Institute of Music.
