Jon Nakamatsu catapulted to international attention in 1997 as the Gold medalist of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. He has been a guest soloist with over 150 orchestras worldwide.

Celebration

Originally composed for the short film of the same name by artist Jyll Bradley, Woman Holding a Balance evokes the interplay of light, space, and geometry through the medium of the string quartet. Musical cycles, metamorphosis, and the “self” surge forth in Strange Loops, inspired by the 2007 book I Am a Strange Loop by Douglas Hofstadter. Rounding out the program is the much-loved Septet by Ludwig van Beethoven. Filled with youthful exuberance, this chamber music classic shows the composer on the verge of his early symphonic successes and command of musical vivacity.
