Lang Lang expressed his excitement for the Abu Dhabi show, saying, “As a young child, animation sparked my imagination and transported me to other worlds. The music was a big part of the experience and led to my lifelong love of classical music. Disney songs have a variety of styles; there is truly something to inspire everyone. I hope people of all ages will enjoy this and experience the joy we all felt the first time we saw a Disney film.”
