Crossover classical pianist Lang Lang comes to Orlando’s Steinmetz Hall this week

World-renowned classical pianist Lang Lang graces the stage of Steinmetz Hall as part of the Great Orchestra Series this week.

Besides undeniable chops, the Chinese pianist brings a charismatic stage presence and ability to connect with his audience to every concert. His performances are a bridge between classical music and more popular fare; one night’s program takes in everything from Beethoven and Tchaikovsky to Disney nuggets like “A Whole New World” and “Beauty and the Beast.”

Along similar lines, what other performers can claim to have jammed with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra … and Metallica and Ed Sheeran?

Wednesday’s recital will include work from Gabriel Fauré, Robert Schumann and Frédéric Chopin.

8 p.m. Wednesday, March 5, Steinmetz Hall, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $45-$225.
