Months after enchanting audiences with his spellbinding performances on The Ellen Show and at the illustrious Carnegie Hall in New York City, piano prodigy Ryan Wang orchestrated a truly special event—a private recital for his most senior admirer, an extraordinary woman nearly a century his senior.

At the age of just 5, Ryan captivated 101-year-old Dorothy Landry with his rendition of «Variations on an Inner Mongolian Folk Song» in an intimate setting meticulously arranged by Canadian digital music provider CBC Music. Landry, who had first encountered the young maestro when he was a mere three years old, had previously attended one of his concerts. However, her impaired hearing had prevented her from fully experiencing the beauty of his melodies. Sensing the deep connection between Landry and the gifted pianist from Vancouver, British Columbia, CBC Music orchestrated this exclusive performance.

As the heartfelt performance drew to a close, Ryan and Landry found themselves seated together in a softly lit room—she in her wheelchair, he perched on a chair, clutching a large teddy bear, his feet barely reaching the ground.

«I find joy in playing for Grandma Dorothy,» Ryan expressed softly. «I believe it brings her happiness.»

«I eagerly anticipate hearing him play again. He’s a truly remarkable young individual,» Landry remarked gratefully, extending her heartfelt gratitude to Wang and inviting him to visit upon his return from an upcoming journey to China. As the camera focuses on Ryan once more, tears glisten in his eyes.
