Double letter programme

Classical piano phenomenon Lang Lang and jazz piano legend Herbie Hancock will be coming to Massey Hall on August 5 for their now-famous duel of the keys — Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, which they performed at the 50th Grammy Awards. They’ve taken their show to the Royal Albert Hall, and now they’re coming here; take a look at what’s on the programme:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart — Overture to The Marriage of Figaro

Ralph Vaughan Williams – Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra

Maurice Ravel — Ma Mère L’Oye

Leonard Bernstein — “Mambo” from West Side Story

George Gershwin — Rhapsody in Blue, arranged for two pianos & orchestra

Franz Liszt — Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, arranged for two pianos

Both performers will also play one solo piece each, to be announced from the stage. Tickets are available from Massey Hall. See you there?! (I can’t wait!)
