Catapulted to international attention in 1997 as the Gold Medalist of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition—the only American to achieve this distinction since 1981—Mr. Nakamatsu subsequently developed a multi-faceted career that encompasses recording\, education\, arts administration and public speaking in addition to his vast concert schedule. \nMr. Nakamatsu has been guest soloist with over 150 orchestras worldwide\, including those of Baltimore\, Berlin\, Boston\, Cincinnati\, Dallas\, Detroit\, Florence\, Los Angeles\, Milan\, San Francisco\, Seattle\, Tokyo and Vancouver. He has worked with such esteemed conductors as Marin Alsop\, Sergiu Comissiona\, James Conlon\, Philippe Entremont\, Hans Graf\, Marek Janowski\, Raymond Leppard\, Gerard Schwarz\, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski\, Michael Tilson Thomas and Osmo Vänskä. \nAs a recitalist\, Mr. Nakamatsu has appeared in New York City’s Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center\, Washington DC’s Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts\, the Musée d’Orsay and the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris and in major centers such as Boston\, Chicago\, Houston\, London\, Milan\, Munich\, Prague\, Singapore\, Tokyo\, Warsaw and Zurich. In Beijing he has been heard at the Theater of the Forbidden City\, the Great Hall of the People\, China Conservatory\, and the National Centre for the Performing Arts.

Following its Boston debut in 2004\, the Duo released its first CD for harmonia mundi usa (Brahms Sonatas for Clarinet and Piano) which received the highest praise from The New York Times Classical Music Editor James Oestreich\, who named it among the “Best of the Year” for 2008.  A frequent chamber musician\, Mr. Nakamatsu has collaborated repeatedly with ensembles such as the Emerson\, Escher\, Jupiter\, Miró\, Modigliani\, Prazak\, St. Lawrence\, Tokyo and Ying string quartets\, the Imani Winds and the Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet with whom he made multiple tours beginning in 2000. \nMr. Nakamatsu’s 13 CDs recorded for harmonia mundi usa have garnered extraordinary critical praise. An all-Gershwin recording with Jeff Tyzik and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra featuring Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Concerto in F remained in the top echelons of Billboard’s classical charts for over six months. Other acclaimed discs include the recording premiere of Lukas Foss’ first Piano Concerto with Carl St. Clair and the Pacific Symphony\, the Brahms Piano Quintet with the Tokyo String Quartet in the quartet’s final recording as an ensemble\, and a solo recording including Robert Schumann’s Second Piano Sonata whose YouTube posting has garnered over 600K hits. \nMr. Nakamatsu has been profiled extensively in print\, radio\, television and online.
