John Adams Institute

 

The mission of the John Adams Institute is to provide a window onto the United States for Dutch audiences. The main way of carrying this out is by bringing notable Americans--novelists, politicians, historians, scientists, screenwriters, poets--to the Netherlands, and having them talk about their work and their insights.  

 

The John Adams Institute is pleased to present the following event:

Lang Lang
A Conversation, with Music

Date: Thursday 18 November 2010 - 8pm

Location: De Rode Hoed, Keizersgracht 102 Amsterdam

“The hottest artist on the classical music planet” (in the words of the New York Times) also has a remarkable life story. He grew up in northeastern China, won his first piano competition at age 5, and has played in virtually every major concert hall in the world. His performance at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 was watched by billions of people. His autobiography, Journey of a Thousand Miles, recounts the enormous distance he has covered in only 28 years--from his birthplace in China to his new home in New York.

Moderator: Maartje Stokkers AVRO, Radio 4
