Overview

Simon Nehring Piano Recital – All-Chopin Program at Kyoto Concert Hall Small Hall is a luminous, single-artist immersion into Frédéric Chopin’s poetic universe, delivered by Simon Nehring (born 1995 in Kraków), Poland’s most electrifying young pianist and heir to the Rubinstein-Krzystof legacy.

Winner of the 15th Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition (1st Prize, 2017) at age 22, Nehring has since conquered stages from Carnegie Hall to Tokyo’s Suntory Hall with his “velvet touch and volcanic temperament” (Ruch Muzyczny).

This Japan tour finale on Saturday, January 24, 2026, at the jewel-box Kyoto Concert Hall Small Hall (~500 seats) presents an all-Chopin program identical to his January 22 Kanagawa recital: Fantasia in F minor, Op. 49, Nocturnes Op. 9 (complete), Andante Spianato & Grande Polonaise Brillante, Op. 22, Nocturne Op. 15 No. 1, Ballade No. 2, Op. 38, and Piano Sonata No. 2 “Funeral March,” Op. 35—a ~100-minute arc from nocturnal whispers to revolutionary thunder.

Doors open at 13:30 for a 14:00 start, promising a “rebirth of Chopin’s spirit” in Kyoto’s golden acoustics. Hailed on X as “Nehring = Chopin 2.0” and “Kyoto’s winter miracle,” this Japan Arts production follows his 2023 sold-out tour. All-reserved seats ¥5,000 (Adult) / ¥2,000 (U24, ID required) via general release on e+ (now until January 23, 2026, 23:59 JST). The Small Hall’s intimacy guarantees every trill. Secure via Kyoto Concert Hall—this Polish prodigy’s pilgrimage is destined for swift, reverent sellout.

Why Attend

• Chopin Reincarnated: Nehring’s Polish DNA and Rubinstein pedigree breathe authentic fire into Fantasia’s drama and Funeral March’s doom—live, unfiltered.
