The one-night concert was titled "East Meets West - Three Stars in Collaboration." The trio presented solo and collaborative performances accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus.
Song, one of China's most popular vocalists, performed a selection of her popular Chinese folk songs, including "Little Back Basket" and "Flying Songs".
She was later joined by Bocelli and Lang Lang for "Love Song of Kangding".
Footage of Chinese people expressing their hopes for a successful 2012 London Olympic Games was also shown at the concert.
