Like a real rock star, the 32 year old virtuoso has conquered the
word of music in its broadest sense. With his trendy look, his talent
and his generosity, he transcends classical music and blends every
tempo. His renowned duos with the Four Horsemen from Metallica,
Jazzman Herbie Hancock or the Tenor Placido Domingo have demonstrated
his boundless mastery of the ivories and the ease with which he
permanently reinvents himself. His spontaneous music is built from
improvisations. Lang Lang is audacious and sets out to surprise. No
repertoire is beyond him. This on stage phenomenon has followed an
atypical route to stardom and he has a sparkling and generous
personality whose aura melds perfectly with the Hublot philosophy.

The internationally renowned prodigy did not shrink back from
adding to the 80 tour dates that already fill his diary. Two
locations, two audiences and two improvised repertoires for two
exclusive concerts. His passion makes the young man tireless. He has
boundless energy and takes pleasure in sharing his music and
emotions. It would appear that he has more in common with Hublot than
first meets the eye.

Musical summer getaways
Destination - The Mediterranean coast

PORTO CERVO - July 1, 2015

The young pianist gave an original and unique private concert in
Harrods' Village in the heart of the Porto Cervo Marina. Lang Lang
improvised on stage for 30 minutes drawing his inspiration from his
surroundings. An exclusive concert on the sidelines of his world
tour, to which 50 friends and elected representatives were invited by
Hublot.

Lang Lang came to the Emerald Coast by boat. Like many artists,
the virtuoso has his rituals and his cherished items; he never
performs without his own piano, a Steinway, and his watch, a Big Bang
Carbon Bezel Baguette Diamonds.

The fact he was there on that day was not down to chance. A major
event occurred on July 1, the official inauguration of the Hublot
summer store in the Harrods' village at Porto Cervo, of which Hublot
is a partner. Ten golden fingers cut the ribbon.

ST TROPEZ - July 2, 2015

600 km and a few hours later, the pianist landed in St Tropez,and
was welcomed by Jean-Claude Biver, Chairman of Hublot and Chairman of
LVMH Watches Division. After a warm welcome in keeping with Hublot's
style, all the guests went to Club 55 to celebrate his birthday.

Early in the evening, Lang Lang was expected in the heart of the
Citadelle. He performed in the famous Place des Lices at White 1921,
a pop-up boutique hotel. The virtuoso gave free reign to his
imagination for 30 minutes of improvisation.

This concert also marks Hublot's support for Lang Lang's work to
prevent illegal trading in ivory from elephant tusk. The young
prodigy is committed to supporting the Ivory Free campaign with Wild
Aid, The African Wildlife Foundation and Save the Elephants. Hublot
is backing the cause for two months starting in July by donating part
of the profit from its St-Tropez store.
