SEPT 10 On this day, Nobuyuki Tsujii performed Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2 in the  Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall, with the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Andrea Battistoni.  The audience response was enthusiastic.  In his official instagram, Nobu wrote: "This was my first time performing Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2. I've always wanted to try this, and I'm especially happy that the audience enjoyed it. It's said to be one of the most difficult piano concertos, so I was a little nervous at first, but once the performance began, I could feel the audience's intense attention, and I was able to enjoy the performance despite my nervousness.

He will next perform the work in MEXICO with #ofunam on Oct 25 & 26.
