A Nobu concert is as much a musical event as it is a spiritual service. A veteran of the stage since his debut at age 12, the Japanese pianist has been praised by iconic pianists like Van Cliburn, who called his performances “truly divine,” and Menahem Pressler, who was so moved to hear Nobu that “I had to keep from crying.”
And now, you have the chance to experience this inspiring performer in an evening of 19th-century music that warms the heart and calms the mind.
Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Waldstein” Sonata for solo piano is a work of intense drama and dazzling melodies that pushes the boundaries of the piano. Once referred to as “a heroic symphony for piano,” Beethoven’s sonata will have you at the edge of your seat to watch Nobu’s fingers fly up and down the keyboard.
Although Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt were friends for years, the music they composed couldn’t have been more different. Explore these contrasting characters when Nobu brings together the passionate poetry of Chopin’s tranquil nocturnes with the demonic energy of Liszt’s Mephisto Waltz, which transforms the piano’s elegant voice into a thunderous drum.
