Hayato Sumino

Immerse yourself in the dazzling virtuosity of pianist Hayato Sumino in the concert film “Hayato Sumino.” Rising to international acclaim from his YouTube channel “Cateen,” which now boasts over 1.3 million fans and 180 million views, Sumino has become a Sony Classical recording artist and an Artist Ambassador for Apple Music Classical. He has shared stages with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and taken his music on a worldwide tour. This recital is a masterful journey through the pianist’s signature repertoire: the fiery Scherzo No. 1 in B minor, Op. 20 and the haunting Nocturne in C minor, Op. 48, No. 1 by Frédéric Chopin, followed by three introspective nocturnes and “Big Cat Waltz” of his own. He then transports listeners to the lush world of Hans Zimmer’s “Day One” from *Interstellar*, the shimmering “Jeux d’eau” and the unforgettable “Boléro” (arranged by Sumino) of Maurice Ravel, the dreamlike “Clair de lune” by Claude Debussy, and Gershwin’s cosmopolitan “An American in Paris” (also arranged by Sumino). In a breathtaking finale that defies expectation, Sumino performs Ravel’s “Boléro” as a duet on twin pianos, creating an orchestral tour de force all on his own hands. Don’t miss this extraordinary showcase of technical brilliance, emotional depth, and innovative reinterpretation—an experience that will leave fans of contemporary and classical piano alike in awe.
