Gold Medallist at the 1997 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, Japanese-American pianist Jon Nakamatsu plays with “the calm assurance that comes of having both a solid technique and a gentle, introspective, interpretive spirit” (The New York Times). His brilliant but unassuming musicianship and eclectic repertoire have made him a clear favorite throughout the world both on the concert circuit and in the recording studio leading to collaborations with such acclaimed conductors as James Conlon, Philippe Entremont, Marek Janowski, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, and Michael Tilson Thomas.
