--FILE--Chinese pianist Lang Lang poses with his trophy after winning the Classic BRIT Awards at the Royal Albert Hall in London, UK, 2 October 2013. Chinas superstar pianist Lang Lang has been selected by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to be a United Nations Messenger of Peace ª a role he says is more important than his music because it can help improve the lives of children around the world through education. Being a Messenger of Peace is the highest honor bestowed by the U.N. chief on accomplished individuals in any field. Secretary-General Ban announced his selection of Lang at a news conference Monday (28 October 2013), calling the 31-year-old pianist one of the most exciting and accomplished musicians of our time. Lang has been a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. childrens agency, UNICEF, for the last 10 years and Ban said he will focus on getting the 57 million school-age children who are not getting an education into classrooms.
