Information

Pianist and composer Tempei NAKAMURA, a native of Kobe, Japan, began studying the piano at the age of 5. In high school, his home was destroyed by the Great Hanshin Earthquake. He dropped out of high school to work in the demolition industry. Although he no longer played the piano in high school, he was accepted into a music school and went on to study at the Osaka University of the Arts, where he graduated at the top of the piano course.


In 2006, he moved to New York to pursue his career internationally. In 2008, he debuted on CD from EMI Music Japan. In 2010, he made his debut as a solo recital at Carnegie Hall in New York.



Concert

He performs annually in Europe and has performed concerts at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Maison de la culture du Japon à Paris, the Japanese-German Berlin Center and other venues in various countries including Spain, Portugal, Italy, Austria, Luxembourg, Estonia, Slovakia, Ukraine and Belarus. In addition, he toured Japan nationwide and held concerts in "unexplored areas" such as Kumano-kodo, a registered World Heritage Site. He dedicated his "Rising Sun" project to the reconstruction efforts of the Great East Japan Earthquake and was awarded the 2015 Hyogo Prefecture Artists Society Prize for Art Progress. He is currently based in New York and Tokyo.
Several of their own compositions will be performed at the festival, including a special one that was composed as a tribute to Ostrava. But you can also look forward to familiar melodies from movies.
