ABC News Reports a statement from the White House
White House spokesman Tommy Vietor told ABC News that “any suggestion that this was an insult to the United States is just flat wrong. As Lang Lang has stated before, he plays this song regularly because it is one of his favorite Chinese melodies, which is very widely known and popular in China for its melody. Lang Lang played the song without lyrics or reference to any political themes during the entertainment portion of the State Dinner. He simply stated the song’s title and noted it was well known in China.”

The music I played at the White House
I was deeply honored to have been invited to perform at the White House recently. The two pieces I played were, one, Maurice Ravel’s “Ma mere l’Oye” (Mother Goose) for four hands, the other, a Chinese piece called “My Motherland”. I selected this song because it has been a favorite of mine since I was a child. It was selected for no other reason but for the beauty of its melody.
I am, first and foremost, an artist. As such, I play music to bring people together.
