About the ProgramTaking the concert world by storm, pianist and composer Hayato Sumino breathes new life into the term virtuoso. His unique style blends classical technique with an arranger’s ear and improvisational skills, bringing a fresh and innovative approach to piano music.
Sumino's dynamism and creativity have fueled his astonishing online presence—more than 1.5 million YouTube followers and 230 million views—and his passion and spontaneity draw his fans to the concert hall, regularly selling out shows and captivating audiences around the globe. An exclusive Sony Classical recording artist, Steinway Artist, CASIO Ambassador, and an Artist Ambassador for Apple Classical, Hayato’s electrifying performances and creative vision have made him an international sensation.
Hayato’s global appeal is evidenced by his recent history-making wins of top honors in two categories in Germany’s most important awards in classical music, the Opus Klassik Awards: the Live Performance of the Year (soloist) and Young Talent of the Year prizes for his debut album on the Sony Classical label, Human Universe. Released last fall, the record includes repertoire by Bach, Fauré, Purcell, Sakamoto, and Hans Zimmer, as well as Sumino’s own compositions and arrangements.
