[Sapporo Recital – Thank You!] Behind-the-Scenes Video Now Available !
On Friday, April 18, 2024, I had the great pleasure of performing a solo recital at Sapporo Concert Hall Kitara for the first time in 15 years.
Although same-day tickets were initially planned, all seats were sold out in advance, and we had to cancel on-the-day sales due to overwhelming demand. Honestly, I was quite anxious about how many people would come, but the warmth that filled the hall even before the concert started moved me deeply—I was in tears.
Thanks to the generous support of Yamaha, I was able to perform on their magnificent CFX piano under ideal conditions. After completing all concerts since early March without incident, I was especially glad to finish this series with a performance in Sapporo that I could personally feel satisfied with.
For the encore, I was joined by my partner Ricardo in a four-hands performance, making it a truly special moment to share with the audience.
To everyone involved in making this recital possible—
The Piano Teachers’ Association of Hokkaido, the event organizers, supporters and sponsors, my mentors, friends, family, and Ricardo—
I express my heartfelt gratitude.
🎥 [New Video Now Available] Behind the Scenes at Sapporo Kitara – Thank You, Sapporo!
This special behind-the-scenes video includes clips of me walking through Nakajima Park to Kitara with my suitcase, entering the backstage area, rehearsals, the lobby just before the concert, excerpts from the actual performance, the encore with Ricardo, and a thank-you message filmed the next day in the park.
If you have time, I’d be delighted if you could watch it.
Once again, thank you to everyone who came.
After 19 years living in France, I felt truly blessed to be welcomed so warmly in Sapporo.
I look forward to seeing you again in Sapporo in the near future.

The other day, I gave a recital in a small theatre on the Île Saint-Louis in Paris.
It turned out to be a very warm and wonderful evening, with former students I hadn't seen in years, current students, friends, and acquaintances coming to see me.
I was especially moved that a friend even came all the way from Toulouse!
Thank you so much to everyone who attended.
As always, I’ve uploaded a short video on YouTube with a few moments before the concert – walking near the theatre, rehearsing, and performing.
I’d be happy if you could take a look when you have a moment.

‣As the piano duo MusicOrba (Ricardo Vieira and Tomohiro HATTA), we spent just over two weeks touring China. We began our journey in a city in western China, not far from Myanmar and Laos, and then moved south and west. This tour in China will remain an unforgettable memory for us! We had the privilege of performing in stunning venues and were welcomed by warm and enthusiastic audiences. We concluded the tour on a high note and would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who supported us.
‣Jury in PTNA Piano Competition last summer, Online Video Preliminaries, in Tochigi and Tokyo

‣What an extraordinary week in Portugal! We had the privilege of holding a masterclass and a lecture in Santa Maria da Feira, which were a tremendous success: all our slots from 9am to 7pm were fully booked! We are deeply moved by the enthusiasm and diversity of our students, who came from all corners of the country, from Lisbon to Braga. The warm welcome we received and the excellent level of the participants made this experience absolutely memorable. We look forward to the opportunity to return. A huge thank you to everyone for sharing this adventure with us!
