Tatsuya Nagashima, piano

Tatsuya Nagashima burst into the International limelight in 1993 as the first prize winner of Italy's Ibla International Piano Competition. Tatsuya Nagashima showed extraordinary talent and promise at an early age. Born into a musical family - his father being an important figure in Taiwan as a pianist and his mother being a prominent opera singer - Tatsuya began playing the piano at the age of four. Shortly thereafter, his family moved to Tokyo - where he began his international performance career with a public recital at the age of nine.

Tatsuya Nagashima is increasingly in demand as a guest soloist with orchestras of international distinction - Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, American Symphony, Russian Fedral Orchestra, St. Petersburg Festival Orchestra, among others - and as a recitalist at major festivals and venues around the world - Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center in New York, Royal Albert Hall in London, and Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow to name few.

A stream of recognition, including numerous awards and firsts at national and international competitions mark his acceleration onto the international stage. His performances have been broadcasted on radio and TV in Japan, Taiwan, Italy, Russia, Germany and the United States. Tatsuya Nagashima is a prodigious young talent with a wonderfully engaging personality and stage presence.
