Mark your calendars for Sunday, 9th March 2025, and prepare for an unforgettable evening at the Victoria Concert Hall as Japanese pianist Takeshi Oi (\u5927\u4e95\u5065) celebrates the 10th anniversary of his illustrious career. Known for his unique blend of classical refinement and contemporary innovation, Oi will take audiences on a transformative musical journey in this one-night-only recital, launching C. Bechstein\u2019s 2025 concert series, proudly presented by True Music Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This carefully curated program highlights the breadth of Oi\u2019s artistry, featuring works by Chopin, Liszt, Debussy, Ligeti, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, and his own arrangement of Ravel\u2019s \u201cLa Valse\u201d. Each piece reflects a facet of Oi\u2019s musical vision: lyrical beauty, introspective depth, and vibrant innovation. From the dreamlike serenity of Pr\u00e9lude \u00e0 l’apr\u00e8s-midi d’un faune to the pulsating energy of La Valse, the evening is a testament to Oi\u2019s ability to breathe new life into timeless compositions. A tribute to the late Ryuichi Sakamoto adds a poignant touch, blending personal homage with musical celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Artiste<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takeshi Oi began his piano studies at the age of three under his mother\u2019s tutelage. His early years were shaped by life in Germany and England, where he studied under a descendant of Mendelssohn. A defining moment came when a performance at London\u2019s Queen Elizabeth Hall inspired his resolve to become a pianist. By 13, Oi had made his London debut, performing a concerto with orchestra, following numerous competition victories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After graduating from Japan\u2019s prestigious Kunitachi College of Music (\u56fd\u7acb\u97f3\u697d\u5927\u5b66), Oi spent nearly a decade as the exclusive pianist for Japan\u2019s first opera unit, LEGEND. His solo career soared with the 2015 release of Piano Love under King Records, followed by Piano Love II, which topped the Billboard Classical Chart. A Sony Xperia commercial and the debut of his genre-defying piano duo Kenbandanshi further solidified his reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, Oi has focused on solo projects, including his album reBUILD and the accompanying PIANO CLASSICS tour. Alongside performing, he has remained active in media, writing, lecturing, and nurturing the next generation of pianists. This recital celebrates his 10th solo career anniversary, a milestone in a journey defined by passion, innovation, and artistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
