THE PIANO FINAL SUNDAY, 9PM, C4 ENTERTAINMENT

After a whistle-stop tour of busy station concourses across the country, C4's hit competition The Piano reaches its final destination this week with a sold-out concert at Manchester's Aviva Studios.

Seven budding virtuosos have been chosen by classical pianist Lang Lang and pop superstar Mika to take part in the show-stopping event hosted by Claudia Winkleman.

From 80-year-old Duncan, who lives with dementia, and his heartfelt love song for his wife, to 10-year-old prodigy Sum and his flawless Joseph Haydn sonata, which talented ivorytickler will be crowned as the night's standout performer?

TV Times caught up with world-famous Chinese pianist Lang Lang, who turns 42 on 14 June, for an exclusive chat about what to expect...

What details can you share about the final concert?
