Chopin Pur by Kenji Miura at the French Cathedral, Berlin

O wydarzeniu

Frédéric Chopin has been celebrated as a master of Romanticism for 200 years. The composer himself loved sitting at the piano for hours and playing in front of it. A pianist with brilliant technique, who not only operated the 88 keys, but 'touched' them. We present this beautiful simplicity of his music with outstanding young pianists in the series 'Chopin pur' at the French Cathedral.
The popular piano series 'Chopin pur' will be kicked off again this year by the Japanese Kenji Miura, who has declared Berlin his new artistic home for the past five years. Born in Japan in 1993, he received his first piano lessons at the age of three, later studied in London, Berlin and Philadelphia and already played in the largest halls from Paris to Tokyo as a soloist and chamber musician. His many competition successes speak for his talent. In February 2013 he left the European music scene and spent a year in Japan volunteering for children in need. In 2014 he returned to the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music. As a scholarship holder of the Yehudi Menuhin Live Music Now Organisation, he regularly performs in duo with the violist Luke Turrell of the Berliner Philharmoniker. In 2017 he won the Steinway Förderpreis and 1st place at the International Shigeru Kawai Piano Competition. Look forward to a first concert evening with the most beautiful compositions of Chopin, played by pianist Kenji Miura.
