One\u00a0hundred piano students from California\u2019s Bay Area took to the stage at Sonoma State University\u2019s Weill Hall in October to perform a program entitled, \u201c101 Pianists.\u201d \u00a0Each student was paired with another student on one of 50 Roland RP401R<\/a> digital pianos onstage, and together, while accompanied by world-renowned classical pianist Lang Lang, they performed two-handed arrangements of Schubert\u2019s Marche Militaire<\/em>, No. 1 in D major and Brahms\u2019\u00a0Hungarian Dance<\/em>, No 5. in F-sharp minor.<\/p>\n

\u201c101 Pianists\u201d is a program that was developed by Lang Lang himself to share classical music with children around the world. He also wanted pianos students to experience performing as a group in a social setting similar to the experience of performing in school bands and orchestras. \u201cI started 101 Pianists to give piano students an opportunity to play together,\u201d says Lang Lang. \u201cIt started about 15 years ago at one of my concerts where I invited students to join me for an encore \u2013 and we had a wonderful time. So, I wanted to do more of these events as a workshop and also a performance for the community. It\u2019s now one of the key programs of my foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The talented young pianists who performed at Sonoma State were hand-selected by the Lang Lang International Music Foundation<\/a> from nominations submitted by local music teachers. After several months of practice on their own and a master class from Lang Lang himself, they joined together as a \u201cpiano orchestra\u201d for a concert that was enjoyed by parents, teachers, and the entire community.<\/p>\n
