“Everything I set out to do, I do with my heart and soul,” explains Kyōhei Sorita, “so that I can be content even if I were to die tomorrow.” It is a radical claim, one that the pianist lives up to at every one of his concerts.
At the age of 12, the Tokyo-born artist was certain that he would devote his life to music; by the age of 14, he had set himself an even higher goal: “I want to be a musician who inspires people to dream.” The fact that he has succeeded in this is evident from the concerts in his native Japan that sell out within minutes. It is also evident from the rave reviews across the rest of the world, which he has taken by storm since coming second in the 2021 Chopin Competition. For his debut at the Heinersdorff Concerts, this master of sound has brought with him works by Mozart and Beethoven, Brahms and Liszt: music for the heart and soul, to inspire wonder and dreams.
