The Artist:

Kentaro Nagai, born in 1986, currently studies piano at the Royal College of Music in his fourth year undergraduate programme with the Scholarship funded by the RCM. His musical training began at the age of four largely influenced by his mother who is an opera singer and a lieder. He made a concerto debut at the age of eight after wining a number of competitions in Japan. Then at the age of 14, he moved to Canada where he received several music awards and scholarships including the Canmore Mayor’s Award for the Honourable Citizen.

He has given numerous performances in Japan, Canada and Europe at such venues as the Banff Centre in Canada, St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Steinway Hall, Cadogan Hall, National Gallery, and Bulgaria Hall (Sofia). Kentaro also appeared as a soloist for concertos and most recently he performed with Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra.  He benefited from participating several masterclasses given by such pianists as William Fong, Stephen Hough, John Lill, Ronan O’Hora and Kathryn Stott.

Kentaro has previously studied with Hiroko Hamaka and Suzanne Ruberg-Gordon and currently studies with Gordon Fergus-Thompson, and he will precede his studies in Postgraduate at the Royal College of Music from September 2009.
