What is Going to Happen in The Piano at Christmas Special 2024?

Mika, Lang Lang, and Claudia Winkleman are bringing the festive spirit with them to the Battersea Power Station in London. Guest stars from Season 2 are back with seasonal favorites like O Holy Night, Walking in the Air, and also a rendition of Joni Mitchell's River. 

But that’s not all. Season 2 winner Brad Kella will perform his brand new single as well. To add to the holiday fun, Mika and Lang Lang will perform a Beatles classic. The special will be made even more eventful thanks to the reactions of the public, who will be able to witness these performances. 

After this Special, Lang Lang will pass on his musical duties to Jon Batiste for the next seven episodes of season 3, commissioned from Love Productions. Batiste is a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter composer and bandleader. He along with Claudia and Mika will go to five new railway stations and give amateur pianists the chance to show their piano prowess.
