Derek Wang with Lang Lang - Carmen Fantasy for 8 Hands at Segerstrom Hall, CA

This is a video of Anna, Charlie, and my rehearsal with Lang Lang in California, playing "Fantasy on Themes from Bizet's Carmen" by Mack Wilberg, for two pianos and eight hands. It was recorded just before the "Lang Lang and Friends" concert on November 3, which we also performed with Ms. Jingyi Zhang at Carnegie Hall on October 27. We had a lot of fun playing this piece; Lang Lang was phenomenal and his passion for music is contagious. He is such an inspiration to us all! Both concerts were a great success and we are proud of our work. Thanks are due to Lang Lang, Mr. Gary Graffman, and Ms. Jingyi Zhang for working with us before the concerts and to the Lang Lang Foundation for support.
