http://calendar.lafayette.edu/node/8047 <Music events calendar, Williams Center for the Arts , La Fayette College, Indiana, U.S.A.>Orpheus Chamber Orchestra with pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii at Williams Center for the Arts. Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - 8:00pm to 10:00pm

"The Van Cliburn competition has long been the most prestigious platform for pivotal career breakthroughs by aspiring pianists. A collective gasp was heard throughout the musical world when the 2009 gold medalist was announced—an unheralded 21-year old Japanese player named Nobuyuki Tsujii, blind since birth, whose final Cliburn performance was called “absolutely miraculous.” Since then, orchestras and recital halls have been scrambling to introduce this phenomenally gifted musician to their audiences. With solo recitals at such centers as Carnegie Hall, the Aspen Festival, and the Kennedy Center, and with concerto engagements with many of the world’s most prominent orchestras, Tsujii remains the darling of the moment, his sudden acclaim easily bolstered by technical skills and musical gifts of astonishing brilliance. The Winnepeg Free Press has praised his “rapturous phrases with an almost improvisatory nature,” and Boston Globe’s Richard Dyer paid him the supreme compliment: “Very seldom do I close my notebook and just give myself over to it, and he made that necessary. I didn’t want to be interrupted in what I was hearing.” His Williams Center debut features a heroic work that has become something of a specialty for him—Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5, “Emperor.” Orpheus opens the program with another Beethoven favorite, the Overture to Coriolan; Mozart’s Symphony No. 39 completes the pleasures of the evening.

Press release from the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, which opens its 2013-14 season. It will perform with Nobu in January. It will be interesting to see how Nobu interacts with this unusual orchestra, which has no conductor.
September 3, 2013 (New York, NY) – Orpheus Chamber Orchestra opens its 41st season at Carnegie Hall with their first of four concerts tracing the evolution of the concerto over four centuries and the composer/performers who created them.
...
Later this season, Orpheus welcomes internationally renowned soloists to their Carnegie Hall concerts including clarinetist Martin Fröst, pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii, and violinist Christian Tetzlaff. ..
Orpheus Chamber Orchestra has over its 41-year history revolutionized how audiences think about classical music and orchestral leadership. By abandoning traditional hierarchies, Orpheus conforms to a democratic model holding rehearsals that encourage artistic discussion, rotating seating assignments for each piece, and performing works from the classical to contemporary without a conductor. The orchestra has recorded over 70 albums including the Grammy Award-winning Shadow Dances: Stravinsky Miniatures, and to date has commissioned and premiered more than 40 original works. In addition to its annual concert series at Carnegie Hall, Orpheus has established an international reputation with tours to Europe, Asia, and South America ...

August 10 I heard from Mr. Peter Rosen: "We'll have a rough cut of the film done in September, and a big premier is planned in NYC right before or after January 25 Nobu in Carnegie Hall with Orpheus." The film is NOBUYUKI TSUJII 辻井伸行 "KOKORO NO ME" IN THE HEART's eye
In the original 2013-14 program published by the orchestra (attachment 1), the tour date was 19-24, with a all-Beethoven program that includes the "Emperor" concerto. By the time I looked again on February 8, the tour has been expanded to include the dates of January 17th through 24th, with an all-Mozart program added (Nobu will play the "Coronation" concerto.) -- see attachment 2. And now, with the latest announcement (see above), the Carnegie Hall performance turns out to take place on the 25th.

Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, in its first ever all-Beethoven program, presents the assured Symphony No. 2, the emotionally charged Coriolan Overture, and the triumphant Emperor Piano Concerto, featuring the Orpheus debut of Nobuyuki Tsujii, the young Japanese pianist and gold medalist in the 2009 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition whose dazzling musicianship is all the more remarkable in light of his blindness since birth.
