On YouTube, he captivates an audience of millions as “Cateen” with his sensitive original compositions and spectacular arrangements. But even in live performances (under his real name, Hayato Sumino), the Japanese pianist and composer is currently regarded as one of the most exciting young artists worldwide: virtuosic, exploratory, and open to crossing musical boundaries between classical, jazz, and contemporary soundscapes. His mission: to build bridges and inspire as many people as possible with his music. For his debut in Bielefeld, Sumino presents his artistic vision under the title “Chopin Orbit,” in which he combines works by Chopin, Saint-Saëns, and Stravinsky with his own compositions.
