Bravo Niagara and the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre proudly present the return of internationally acclaimed pianist Kyohei Sorita. Kyohei Sorita returns to the JCCC! After his sold out concert in 2023, Kyohei Sorita is back for another unforgettable night of world class music. Kyohei Sorita is a celebrated Japanese pianist recognized for his extraordinary talent and vibrant performances. Born in Tokyo, Sorita has achieved significant acclaim on both national and international stages. In 2021, he won the second prize at the 18th International Chopin Piano Competition, marking the first time in half a century that a Japanese pianist received this prestigious honour.  His rise to prominence began in 2012, when he won the first prize at the 81st Japan Music Competition, receiving additional accolades such as the Nomura Prize, Iguchi Prize, Kawai Prize, and Iwatani Prize. His subsequent debut recital at Suntory Hall in 2016 sold out immediately.  Sorita is also the founder, producer and conductor of the Japan National Orchestra, has his own record label NOVA, and produces the music salon “Solistiade" to create a space for young musicians and their fans to connect. He was selected for the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia List – Class of 2024.
