After his unusual rise to international stardom, having won the Gold Medal in the prestigious Van Cliburn International Piano Competition while working as a high school German teacher, Jon Nakamatsu has maintained a decades long career as pianist, recording artist, and educator.
His program at this Phillips begins with Alban Berg's chilling and reflective Sonata for Piano, written when the composer was at the end of his study with Arnold Schoenberg, turning to Frédéric Chopin’s enduring Fantasia in F minor, and Johannes Brahms's Sonata in F minor, written when the composer was a mere twenty years old. Further highlights of Jon’s upcoming season include numerous solo and chamber music recitals across the United States and concerto engagements with the Wichita Falls Symphony, Santa Rosa Symphony, and Lansing Symphony among others.
During his multi-faceted career, Jon has recorded 13 critically praised CDs for Harmonia Mundi USA, serves as co-artistic director of the Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival, has been guest soloist with many of the world’s most celebrated orchestras, and is on the faculty of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
