Profile

Violinist Tatsuro Nishie, who also serves as concertmaster, soloist, and chamber musician for the New Japan Philharmonic, was born in Tokyo. He attended the co-educational Toho Gakuen School of Music and completed the Toho Gakuen Soloist Diploma Course. He has won numerous national competitions and, in 2001, at the tender age of 24, became concertmaster of the Sendai Philharmonic Orchestra. He has performed numerous solo works, earning rave reviews for his performances of "A Hero's Life" and "Scheherazade." He formed the Tokyo Philos Quartet and the Sereno String Quartet, and has received awards such as the SPC Grand Prize, the Sendai Arts Festival Grand Prize, the Midori no Kaze Music Award, and the Matsuo Music Grant. He studied violin with Akiko Tatsumi, the late Tibor Varga, Seiji Kageyama, Hamao Fujiwara, and Yoshio Unno, and chamber music with Toru Yasunaga, Ayumi Ichino, Gabor Takács-Nagy, and Kiyoshi Okayama. His repertoire is diverse, ranging from Corelli and Bach to Akira Miyoshi and Kapustin. He is a friend of Italian composer Alessandro Cuozzo, to whom he dedicated a solo violin sonata during a recital tour of Italy with pianist Giuseppe Andaloro.

He has performed worldwide, including in Japan, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, the Czech Republic, South Korea, and Malaysia.

He has also performed as a soloist with orchestras both in Japan and abroad, including the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra T. Varga, Sendai Philharmonic Orchestra, Sendai Civic Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra Ensemble Kanazawa, Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra, and New Japan Philharmonic.

In recognition of Christian Arming, he was appointed concertmaster of the New Japan Philharmonic in 2005. In 2007, he performed with cellist Mischa Maisky in the "Mr. Maisky 60th Birthday Project." In 2009, he was selected as a soloist with the Aargau Symphony Orchestra and made his concerto debut at the Tonhalle Zurich, where he received critical acclaim. His recitals include world premieres of Andrea Tarantino's "Sulla Via del Graal," Alessandro Cuozzo's "Meditation," and Sayo Kosugi's "Spiraling Sparks." In 2012, he formed the Atman Trio.

In 2015, he garnered attention for his six-string electric violin solo at the world premiere of Joe Hisaishi's new piece, "Chamber Symphony." Since then, he has served as bandmaster for Joe Hisaishi's new series, "Music Future." In 2016, he made a guest appearance with pianist Hiromi Uehara on "Untitled Concert." In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he appeared with the Hiromi Piano Quintet at Blue Note Tokyo's "Save Live Music Returns" concert. With the Hiromi Piano Quintet, he performed at the Fuji Rock Festival and also toured nationwide. He also released a new album with his piano trio. In January 2010, he performed the concerto solo with Yutaka Sado for the first time as the soloist was unable to come to Japan. He also performed as soloist in a revival of Joe Hisaishi's "Chamber Symphony."
