Pianist Jon Nakamatsu in recital
at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts
7380 E. Second St., Scottsdale

When high-school German teacher Jon Nakamatsu won the 10th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 1997, he became an overnight sensation. Now, over a decade later, he's still known for his illuminating musicality as well as a quietly charismatic performing style. Nakamatsu is a frequent concerto soloist, chamber musician, recording artist and solo recitalist throughout the United States, Europe and Japan. In this recital, he performs favorite sonatas by Clementi, Beethoven, and Chopin, as well as Robert Schumann's lovely Papillons, Op. 2.

Listen to Katrina Becker's interview with Nakamatsu here.

Meet Katrina at KBAQ's table in the lobby; stop by before the concert or during intermission to pick up information about 89.5.
