Biography
The Observer called him “the definition of virtuosity”: Japan’s Nobuyuki Tsujii, who has been blind since birth, has won admiration wherever he goes since winning the Gold Medal at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2009. He has performed with the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra, the Filarmonica della Scala and the Sinfonieorchester Basel. His recitals regularly take him to the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, the Wigmore and Royal Albert Halls, the Berlin Philharmonic and the Musikverein. His brilliant debuts in recent seasons augur well for future collaborations, such as the one with the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, which will tour under the direction of Klaus Mäkelä in spring 2021.
