Hayato Sumino

Chopin Orbit shows Hayato Sumino at his best: curious, playful, and razor-sharp. This will be his first performance at DE SINGEL, with a programme that’s as unconventional as it is captivating.
Sumino approaches Chopin with respect, but never from a distance. His interpretations are lively and direct, as if the music is unfolding right there in the moment. Original compositions and contemporary works engage in an open dialogue with Chopin that is surprising and unpredictable, as if he is deliberately disrupting the course of things.

Internationally acclaimed, Sumino is now a phenomenon who seamlessly connects concert halls and digital platforms, reaching an audience of millions. His YouTube channel Cateen has a global following, making him one of the most influential pianists of his generation.

As a pianist, improviser, and creator, he moves freely between tradition and innovation. In Chopin Orbit, he reshapes the familiar into something personal and contemporary. A recital that invites you to move in time with his unique musical universe.
