"It’s been three years since we were lucky enough to participate in the awards show when we last performed with world-renowned Chinese concert pianist Lang Lang and we’re thrilled to be asked back," the wrote. "We have something very unique and special planned for this celebratory night, so tune in to watch on CBS-TV."
