Hear Chopin move into a new orbit.

Hayato Sumino in Concert — Chopin Orbit

Sumino does not split classics from his own voice. Chopin, Saint-Saëns and Stravinsky share the evening with Lydian Harp, White Keys and Imaginary Polonaise.

What draws you to this experience?

01

Chopin is the centre, not the boundary

The official synopsis confirms the Second Piano Sonata and Winter Wind Étude. Follow long-form tension in the sonata, then ask whether melody still breathes beneath the étude’s velocity.

Classical & instrumental
02

One piano compresses two orchestral worlds

Saint-Saëns’s Danse Macabre and Stravinsky’s Firebird hand dance, percussion and layered orchestration to ten fingers. Hear registers stand in for different instrumental colours.

Classical & instrumental
03

Original pieces reveal where the reframing comes from

Lydian Harp, White Keys and Imaginary Polonaise, alongside improvisation, show how Sumino absorbs modes, keyboard touch and the memory of Chopin’s dance forms.

MAKE IT YOUR EXPERIENCE

Does this fit what you are looking for?

This could be for you if you are…

  • Listeners open to arrangements, original pieces and improvisation within a classical recital

Before you decide

The official synopsis names highlights rather than a complete running order. Do not carry the 2024 two-piano programme, VIP arrangements or encores into this edition.

FIND YOUR PLACE

Find the view that suits you.

Follow three threads: Chopin originals, orchestral colour recast for piano, and Sumino’s own writing and improvisation. Compare how tone and transitions join them.
