Overview

The Rafal Blechacz Piano Recital 2026 is a captivating solo piano performance by the acclaimed Polish pianist Rafal Blechacz, winner of the 2005 Chopin International Piano Competition, touring Japan from January to February 2026. Performances are scheduled at Muza Kawasaki Symphony Hall (Kanagawa) on January 26, Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre Concert Hall (Tokyo) on January 29, and Suntory Hall Main Hall (Tokyo) on February 3, all at 19:00. The program features Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 14 “Moonlight”, Schubert’s Four Impromptus, D.899, and Chopin’s Barcarolle, Ballade No. 3, Three Mazurkas, Op. 50, and Scherzo No. 3. Praised on X for his “serene yet passionate” interpretations and “technical brilliance,” Blechacz delivers a journey from introspection to virtuosity. Venues, with capacities of ~1,997–2,006 seats, offer world-class acoustics in vibrant areas near Roppongi Hills (Suntory) and Toshimaen (Tokyo Metropolitan). Tickets range from ¥5,000 (C seats) to ¥9,000 (S seats), with resale prices potentially reaching ¥6,000–¥11,000 due to high demand. Ideal for classical music lovers and tourists, early booking via Jasumo is essential due to limited seating and Blechacz’s global acclaim.
