Not everyone gets invited to play before a king, but that's what happened to world-renowned pianist Lang Lang when he was asked to play at the celebration concert for the recent coronation of the UK's King Charles III.

In an exclusive interview with CGTN Europe, Lang Lang revealed that he has met Charles several times before, and that the monarch plays various instruments himself. 

The virtuoso also discussed his duet with U.S. singer Nicole Scherzinger – and went on to explain how he's helping the musicians of tomorrow learn with enjoyment.

Watch the interview above for the full story – and below, enjoy an exclusive performance recorded just for CGTN Europe.
