“I have taken on a second career!” said Lang Lang at the Foundation launch event!”
If one word applies to Lang Lang, to the musician, to the man, to his worldview, to those who come into contact with him, it is “inspiration”. It resounds like a musical motif through his life and career. He inspires millions with his open-hearted, emotive playing, whether it be in intimate recitals or on the grandest of stages – such as the 2014 World Cup concert in Rio, with Placido Domingo, to celebrate the final game; the 56th GRAMMY Award, where he performed with Metallica; the Opening Ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where more than four billion people around the world viewed his performance; the Last Night of the Proms at London’s Royal Albert Hall, or the Liszt 200th birthday concert with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Charles Dutoit which was broadcast live in more than 300 movie theaters around the United States and 200 cinemas across Europe (the first classical music cinemacast to be headlined by a solo artist).
He forms enduring musical partnerships with the world’s greatest artists, from conductors such as Daniel Barenboim, Gustavo Dudamel and Sir Simon Rattle, to artists from outside of classical music – among them dubstep dancer Marquese “nonstop” Scott, king of the crooners Julio Inglesias and jazz titan Herbie Hancock.
He even builds relationships with corporations who will help him get classical music to ever-more people – thanks to his Sony ambassadorship, for instance, he brought Prokofiev’s 7th Piano Sonata to the soundtrack of the multi-million- selling computer game Gran Turismo 5and 6! And he builds cultural bridges between East and West, frequently introducing Chinese music to Western audiences, and vice versa.

Simon Woolley, Baron Woolley of Woodford, is a highly influential British political activist and advocate for social justice and racial equality. He was born and raised in Leicester, England. Over the years, Woolley has become a leading voice in the movement for racial equality and civic engagement, particularly within Black and minority ethnic communities in the UK.
Woolley’s journey into activism began with a keen focus on the systemic challenges faced by minority groups in the UK. In 1996, he co-founded Operation Black Vote (OBV), an initiative aimed at empowering Black and minority ethnic communities to participate more fully in the democratic process. Recognizing the crucial link between political representation and social change, OBV has worked to increase voter registration among these communities, encourage political participation, and support candidates from diverse backgrounds. The organization has played a significant role in bridging the gap between under-represented communities and the political sphere, fostering a greater understanding of the importance of civic engagement.
Under Woolley’s leadership, OBV has launched various campaigns and initiatives that have contributed to raising awareness about racial inequalities and the need for increased diversity in political representation. His efforts have involved not only grassroots mobilization but also strategic partnerships with political groups, educational institutions, and civil society organizations.
In addition to his work with Operation Black Vote, Simon Woolley has served in advisory roles on government panels, contributing his expertise on matters of race and equality to shape national policies. His insights have been instrumental in discussions surrounding the implementation of anti-discrimination laws and social policies that aim to level the playing field for all citizens.
Woolley’s commitment to education as a tool for empowerment is evident through his academic pursuits. He studied Spanish and Politics at Middlesex University and received an honorary doctorate from the Open University. These academic experiences have informed his approach to advocacy, emphasizing the importance of education in fostering critical thinking and active citizenship.
In 2019, Woolley’s contributions were formally recognized when he was knighted for his services to race equality. This accolade reflected his tireless dedication to championing the rights of marginalized communities. Further recognizing his impact on British society, in 2021, Simon Woolley was appointed as a crossbench life peer in the House of Lords, assuming the title of Baron Woolley of Woodford. This appointment has provided him with a platform to influence policy decisions at the highest level, particularly in areas related to social justice, equality, and community cohesion.
Throughout his career, Simon Woolley has maintained a steadfast commitment to advocating for an inclusive society where diversity is celebrated, and equal opportunities are available to all. He continues to inspire future generations of activists and leaders, using his voice and platform to push for meaningful change and lasting social progress.
