Nobuyuki Tsujii in Recital
Voyage of virtuosity
Nobuyuki Tsujii is ‘the definition of virtuosity’ (The Observer). Winner of the prestigious Van Cliburn Piano Competition at just 20, this acclaimed pianist has been blind since birth and learns scores by ear, giving him an intimate and unique connection to every piece he performs.

This expansive program demonstrates Tsujii’s endless talent.
It’s a thrilling voyage from the stormy, swirling brilliance of Beethoven’s Tempest to Liszt’s exciting pilgrimage through Venice and Naples.
Ravel takes us to the Spanish Court with his beloved, timeless Pavane pour une infante défunte, then captures the playful sense of movement and hypnotic essence of water. And Kapustin’s jazz-inspired études are full of toe-tapping energy, a show within a show.
Experience the 'blazing ability' (The Guardian) of this 'absolute force of nature' (Seattle Times) fill the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall – a suitably grand stage for this unstoppable talent.
