Izumi Tateno, who overcame paralysis on her right side caused by a cerebral hemorrhage in 2002 and has continued to forge a unique path as the “one-handed pianist,” will hold a special recital to commemorate her 90th birthday. In this recital, he will perform a selection of pieces from over 140 commissioned works dedicated to him, as well as the Bach-Brahms “Chaconne.” The brilliant, crystal-clear, and vibrant tone he has cultivated through a lifetime of performance is sure to resonate deeply with the audience. His performance—so rich in color and passion that it’s hard to believe it comes from just one hand—is like a pure prayer to music. Please come to the venue and experience for yourself the infinite world of music hidden within the “treasure chest of sound” that he will unveil on this special milestone stage at age 90. The sublime piano melodies, woven from his inexhaustible passion for music and his steadfast conviction, will sweep the audience into a whirlwind of emotion.
