Lang Lang This, like the others in the series, is very well-articulated and interesting. These quick-paced pieces offer color and insight into the featured artists without fawning or allowing the artist to engage in billowing self-indulgence. The producer also offers a nice mixture of musical genres.

Even though these are good pieces, we'd never come up with a good idea for how to use them until the producer amde a great suggestion. One of the artists (this featured artist), Lang Lang, is coming to town. Airing it is a great way to offer an interesting piece, demonstrate your connection to the arts, and not have to devote your own staff time to doing so! Another great way to let PRX make your station sound better with a minimal resource investment (sorry if that sounds like a commercial, but it’s true).

The producer might actually try to focus on touring performers, thus providing a solid local connection to stations.
