Press Releases FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS CONTACTS Chris Komai - Los Angeles Even his piano teacher, Marina Derryberry, was surprised when Jon Nakamatsu earned the Gold Medal at the 10th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition earlier this year in Fort Worth, Texas. And Derryberry has been instructing Nakamatsu since he was six years old. Nakamatsu and NBC-TV's "Today" News Anchor Ann Curry will become the first recipients of the Japanese American National Museum's Awards for Excellence when they will be honored at the institution's Annual Dinner on Saturday, Nov. 15, at the Century Plaza Hotel. The dinner's theme is "Building New Traditions: Recognizing Japanese American Excellence".

Besides being honored, Nakamatsu will perform at the dinner. Now 29, Jon became only the third American in 36 years to earn the Van Cliburn gold medal and the first in 16 years. More dramatically, Nakamatsu was the only entrant in the competition to not study at a music conservatory or even major in music in college.

For the past six years, he has earned his living as a German teacher at St. Francis High School in Mountain View, California.

John Nakamatsu, a Californian, won the gold medal last June, pocketed $20,000 and the right to scores of concert recital days. Nebraskans can judge Nakamatsu's superb talent for themselves when he plays a solo recital concert at 8 p.m. March 19 in Kimball Hall as part of the Lied Center for Performing Arts' New Voices series. In addition to supporting performances by emerging artists, New Voices programs are designed to incorporate meaningful outreach experiences, targeted toward audiences members aged 12 to 21. Nakamatsu, a native Californian, has studied piano with the same teacher since the age of 6. He is unusual in that he did not attend a music conservatory - he is a graduate of Stanford University - and he majored not in music, but in German. Until this year, he was teaching high school German in Mountain View, Calif. Always a serious musician, the 28-year-old pianist said he watched the quadrennial competitions as a child and dreamed of being the winner. While a dedicated teacher, his goal is to earn his living as a concert pianist. As the Cliburn winner, he is on his way.

Extractions: . . . . . . . harmonia mundi . . . . . . . BY DOUGLAS McLENNAN W riting about last summer's Van Cliburn Competition, Time dubbed it the "Gong Show" of classical music. So much for the world's top international piano contest, the once-every-four-years gathering of young virtuosos sometimes referred to as the Olympics of classical music. Such scorn is probably an accurate reflection of the esteem piano contests are held in these days. The rap against competitions is that they produce bland, offend-no-one performers who have leeched out the personality from their playing. In the past, big techniques have won out over style, and individualized artistry has seldom been rewarded.
