Lang Lang live in Santa Barbara

Experience Lang Lang live on October 9th

Lang Lang is scheduled to perform at The Granada Theatre in Santa Barbara, California on October 9, 2026. He is internationally recognized as one of the leading classical pianists of our time, known for his emotive and often virtuosic performances. His repertoire spans a wide range, from classical staples like Mozart and Beethoven to Romantic composers such as Chopin and Liszt, alongside contemporary works and crossover projects incorporating jazz and pop influences. Lang Lang’s style is characterized by a dynamic stage presence and a passionate interpretation of music intended to broaden accessibility to classical performance.

The Granada Theatre opened in 1927 as a lavish movie palace designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style by architects Lockwood & Reid. Originally built for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, it served as a premier cinema venue for decades before falling into disrepair. A significant restoration project completed in 2008 returned the theatre to its former grandeur. Today, The Granada functions as a multi-use performing arts center hosting a diverse array of events including Broadway shows, concerts (spanning classical, pop, and other genres), dance performances, and lectures.
