Jon Nakamatsu December 4, 2010

“This young American pianist has stunning technical control and can do anything at the piano he wants.”
– The New York Times

Since his dramatic 1997 Van Cliburn Gold Medal triumph, Jon Nakamatsu’s brilliant but unassuming musicianship and eclectic repertoire have made him a favorite on the concert circuit. He has performed widely in North America, Europe, and the Far East with debuts in Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, and the Kennedy Center. Nakamatsu studied privately with the late Marina Derryberry from the age of six, and has worked with Karl Ulrich Schnabel, son of the great pianist Artur Schnabel.
