This is Nobu's second recital in France, 3 years since his France debut recital at the Louvre, April 17, 2014.
The Théâtre des Champs-Élysées is a theatre at 15 avenue Montaigne in Paris. The theater is named not after the famed Avenue des Champs-Élysées, but rather after the neighborhood which it is situated in, the Quartier des Champs-Élysées.
Opened in 1913, it was designed by French architect Auguste Perre![]()

Aveugle de naissance, Nobuyuki Tsujii n’a appris le piano que par l’oreille, avec l’aide de sa famille et de ses proches. Vainqueur du Concours Van Cliburn en 2009, il y a ébloui le jury par son interprétation des Etudes de Chopin. De lui, le doyen des pianistes en exercice, Menahem Pressler, a dit : « J’ai la plus grande admiration pour lui. Dieu lui a pris ses yeux mais lui a donné des dons physiques et musicaux qui lui permettent de dominer les plus grandes œuvres du répertoire. » Voici enfin ce musicien à la sonorité d’or dans ses grands débuts parisiens et son répertoire de prédilection.
Blind from birth, Nobuyuki Tsujii learned the piano strictly by ear, with the help of his family and loved ones.Winner of the Van Cliburn Competition in 2009, he dazzled the jury with his interpretation of the Chopin etudes. Of him, the dean of the pianist office Menahem Pressler said: "I have the greatest admiration for him. God took his eyes but gave him physical and musical gifts that allow him to master the greatest works of the repertoire." Here is finally this musician with the sonority of gold in his great Parisian debut and his repertoire of predilection.
