Thanks Sue.

I would love to go, but I need to look after LeeAnne and I have nobody that can look after her at the moment.
I understand that he is a real piano wizard.

Love,
Vicky

I will be going tonight to hear him play.
I really admire him. I am lucky to have tickets for all 5 performances.

I was lucky enough to see Lang Lang last year. I also read his book. I think that he is a wonderful pianist. I wish that I could come to Toronto, but at the moment my schedule does not permit it.

Lang lang is not only a great pianist, but he works with children to try and get them to appreciate music. He is at the moment working with 101 children at our concert hall here in Toronto. He is a very dedicated human being, trying to make the world a more beautiful place.

He has contributed and worked to raise funds and awareness for earthquake relief efforts in China and Haiti.
