About

Hosted by the Royal Northern College of Music, this concert is part of the new Inspirational Artists series. Japanese pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii, described as “one of the most unique classical pianists performing today” (Classical Voice) and “the definition of virtuosity” (The Observer), has earned an international reputation for the passion and excitement he brings to live performances.

Blind from birth, Tsujii won the joint Gold Medal at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2009, and his authenticity, musical brilliance, and sensitivity have since captivated audiences worldwide. In this performance of piano classics, he vividly brings each piece to life, creating an emotional bridge between composer and audience that leaves a lasting impression on all who listen.
