Lucy and Lang Lang’s special bond began on Channel 4’s The Piano and continued at Windsor Castle where they both appeared at the Coronation Concert. Later that year they were both invited to perform at the ITV Royal Variety again taking to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall.

Whilst filming the Hungarian Dance for ITV’s Royal Variety at the Royal Albert Hall, a magical moment between the two of them was captured during some downtime with an impromptu duet of Faure’s Pabane Op.50.

The Lang Lang International Music Foundation soon announced Lucy as an International Ambassador and she joins a host of exceptional homegrown talent, including Jools Holland, Sting, Guy Chambers, and Karim Kamar to be strong, active advocates of music education access for all of today’s youth.

Lang Lang said about the foundation's newest ambassador “I am truly delighted to officially welcome Lucy as a Lang Lang International Music Foundation Ambassador. Ever since we met earlier this year, Lucy has continued to inspire me through her incredible gift and passion for the piano, and I am honoured to be a part of her journey."

Lucy’s year finished with a special performance where it all began earlier in the year at a train station. Kings Cross train station hosted Lucy and the Grammy winning Gregory Porter with their beautiful rendition of Silent Night.

This fairy tale all began with a children’s book with a tiny piano, where at the age of 5 years old Lucy started playing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. The family, then upgraded her keyboard and realised she was composing music in her head while sitting on the sofa. Lucy was able to play back music after listening to it just once.

This extraordinary young lady has touched the nation and the world with her journey so far and has inspired families with her love of the piano and her ability to communicate through the power of music. Lucy has just started recording her very own album of therapy.
