Nov 5 Standing ovations for Nobuyuki Tsujii at all 3 recitals (OCT 30 Berkeley, NOV 2 Costa Mesa, NOV 5 Carnegie Hall). In the word of Mrs. Itsuko Tsujii (Nobu's mom): "Carnegie-sponsored solo recital...lots of bravos, big smiles, and four encores 🎹" There are many complimentary audience posts, with great photos and clips. Please see Nobuyuki Tsujii in USA, fall 2025.
But Mrs. Tsujii surprised me with a last sentence in her post-concert instagram: "Tomorrow, he's off to Oslo for his next concert." That surprised me. Nobuyuki Tsujii plays Prokofiev's Piano Concerto no. 2 with Oso Phil & Vasily Petrenko Nov 12 - 13. I was hoping he could get some rest first.

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.
