2025 CAPMT STATE CONFERENCE

The Music We Make,

The Future We Shape


California State University, Fresno

School of Music


FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24 AND SATURDAY,

OCTOBER 20, 2024





FEATURING:

Hayato Sumino

Solo Piano Recital and Interactive Improvisation Workshop for All Musicians

Taking the concert world by storm, pianist and composer Hayato Sumino breathes new life into the term virtuoso. An exclusive Sony Classical recording artist, Artist Ambassador for Apple Music Classical, Steinway Artist, and CASIO Ambassador, Hayato continues to forge his own path in the arts.

His dynamism and creativity are the building blocks of his astonishing online presence—boasting over 1.3 million YouTube followers and 180 million views on the channel/pseudonym “Cateen”—and his passion and spontaneity draw his fans to the concert hall, regularly selling out shows from Tokyo to London to Chicago to Vancouver, with lines out the door for Hayato’s autograph. His 2022 debut album Hayatosm featured music by Chopin, Liszt, and his own compositions, and worldwide success lead to Digital Journal’s recognition in “Best Classical Albums for 2020.” His debut album with Sony Classical is set for release this fall and includes works by Bach, Debussy, Fauré, and Hayato’s own arrangement of Ravel’s Bolero.

Note: Hayato Sumino’s concert on Friday, October 24th is a ticketed event that is open to the general public as part of the Philip Lorenz International Keyboard Concerts Series.  All 2025 CAPMT State Conference attendees receive free admission to this concert. While seating is guaranteed, seats are not assigned and selection will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Availability of preferred seats may be limited as the concert start time approaches.
