KOKI NAKANO

A piano virtuoso, who is characterized by two things that make him stand out from the crowd of his colleagues. Firstly, the close connection between music and body language and visuality in general. Secondly, the intellectual, one could even say philosophical, overlap of each work he creates. Koki Nakano was born in 1988 in Fukuoka, Japan. After graduating from music high school at Toho Gakuen School of Music in Tokyo, he enrolled in the composition department of Tokyo University of the Arts. He has performed recitals in such prestigious locations as the Louvre and Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, Cadogan Hall in London and Lincoln Center in New York. He released his first album Lift in 2016 in collaboration with French cellist Vincent Segal on the French label Nø Førmat!.
