A Message from Kumi
“I am very honored and thrilled to have the opportunity to play at Carnegie Hall in New York, but it is also a little frightening as it will be my first trip to New York. I have dreamed of this since I was a little girl taking piano lessons in Tokyo, Japan. After winning the Grand Prize at the Louisiana International Piano Competition in October, 2013, I discovered that one of the prizes would be a concert at Carnegie Hall.”
“I would very much enjoy meeting the music community in New York while I am in the city for a week and also, hope that you will come to the concert on the 18th June, 2014 to hear my recital.”
“I am also available for press interviews, informal recitals at corporate events, and will even give one or two private lessons on request.”
“Again, I hope to see many of you and your families at Carnegie Hall.”
Thank You
Kumi Matsuo |
