Lang Lang
Lang Lang has inspired millions with open-hearted,
emotive playing, whether it is in intimate recitals or
on the grandest of stages. The discovery of music propels Lang Lang to what he calls “his second career”:
bringing music into the lives of children around the
world, both through his work for the United Nations
as a Messenger of Peace focusing on global education
and through his own Lang Lang International Music
Foundation.
Lang Lang has been featured on every major TV network and in magazines
worldwide. He has performed for international dignitaries including four
US presidents, President Koehler of Germany, Queen Elizabeth II, former
French President Sarkozy and more.
He has been added as one of the World Economic Forum’s 250 Young Global Leaders, and been honoured with Honorary Doctorates from the Royal
College of Music and Manhattan School of Music, the highest prize awarded by China’s Ministry of Culture, Germany’s Order of Merit and France’s
Medal of the Order of Arts and Letters.
Manuel López-Gómez
Conductor Manuel López-Gómez began his musical
life in violin, piano and chamber music and composition at the age of 8. His talent for conducting was noticed early on and he has distinguished himself as a
conductor at the front rank of young talent.
Manuel has also had conducting engagements with
the Washington National Symphony, San Francisco
Symphony, Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie, Brussels
Philharmonic, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Seoul Philharmonic, and Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France. He is increasingly recognized
not only for his groundbreaking work as National Music Director of El Sistema in Colombia, but also as a guest conductor of visionary and inspiring
capabilities.
Manuel visits South American orchestras regularly. Active also in opera,
he conducted the world debut of the orchestrated opera Atahualpa in Lima,
Perú, where he will soon lead a production of Gounod’s Romeo et Juliette.
Sting
Composer, singer-songwriter, actor, author, and activist,
Sting has received 16 Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe,
an Emmy and three Oscar nominations and sold close
to 100 million albums from his combined work with
The Police and as a solo artist. A member of both the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall
of Fame, he will receive the Kennedy Center Honors
in December. He has appeared in more than 15 films
and authored two books, including The New York Times
best-selling memoir Broken Music. His fourteenth solo album is inspired
by the story of The Last Ship – a new musical opening October 26 at the
Neil Simon Theatre, marking Sting’s debut as a Broadway composer. His
support for human rights organizations mirrors his art in its universal
outreach. Along with wife Trudie Styler, he founded the Rainforest Fund
in 1989 to protect both the world’s rainforests and the indigenous people
living there.
Alec Baldwin
Since 1980, Alec Baldwin has appeared on stage, in
films and on television and has received a Tony nomination (A Streetcar Named Desire, 1992) an Oscar
nomination (The Cooler, 2004) and has won two Emmy
awards, three Golden Globes and seven consecutive
Screen Actors Guild Awards as Best Actor in a Comedy Series for his role on NBC-TV’s 30 Rock. His films
include The Hunt for Red October, Glengarry Glen Ross,
Malice, The Edge, It’s Complicated, Blue Jasmine, among
many others.
Baldwin is a 1994 BFA graduate of Tisch and received an honorary doctorate in 2010.

Lang Lang International Music Foundation
Our organization was created over 6 years ago to inspire and motivate the
next generation of classical music lovers and performers. One of my true
passions is to take new and extraordinary talent and help develop their
musical gifts to a level the world appreciates. I am very fortunate to share
Lang Lang’s vision in building self-confidence and a drive for excellence
in our youth.
The Foundation operates with the conviction that music is a universal
language and that music can open opportunities for communication, understanding, and acceptance. We aim to ignite a passion for music in our
children so that they can be leaders in bridging cultural gaps and helping
unite local and global communities. Our hope is that cultural exchange
through music, over time, will translate into greater cultural awareness
and social development.

Message from the Secretary-General
for United Nations Day, 24 October 2014
The United Nations is needed more than ever at this
time of multiple crises. Poverty, disease, terrorism,
discrimination and climate change are exacting
a heavy toll. Millions of people continue to suffer
deplorable exploitation through bonded labour, human trafficking, sexual slavery or unsafe conditions
in factories, fields and mines. The global economy
remains an uneven playing field.
The founding of the United Nations was a solemn
pledge to the world’s people to end such assaults
on human dignity, and lead the way to a better future. There have been painful setbacks, and there
is much work ahead to realize the Charter’s vision.
But we can take heart from our achievements.
The UN Millennium Development Goals have inspired the most successful anti-poverty campaign
ever. United Nations treaties addressing inequality, torture and racism have protected people, while
other agreements have safeguarded the environment. UN peacekeepers have separated hostile
forces, our mediators have settled disputes and our
humanitarian workers have delivered life-saving aid.
At this critical moment, let us reaffirm our commitment to empowering the marginalized and vulnerable. On United Nations Day, I call on Governments
and individuals to work in common cause for the
common good.
