Lang Lang will also be signing copies of his autobiography, Journey of a Thousand Miles.

27 year-old Lang Lang has played sold out recitals and concerts in every major city in the world and is the first Chinese pianist to be engaged by the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic and the top American symphony orchestras. Born in China to parents whose musical careers were interrupted by the Cultural Revolution, Lang Lang has emerged as one of the greatest pianists of our time. Journey of a Thousand Miles documents the intimate story of a family who sacrificed almost everything for the belief in a young boy’s talent.

Sarah Cahill is a classical pianist who specializes in new American music as well as the American experimental tradition. She has commissioned, premiered, and recorded numerous compositions for solo piano.
