Special Recital with Guest Artist: Fuzjko Hemming Piano Recital in Memory of 2011 Earthquake & Tsunami victims in Japan

Posted by: School of Music

Artists:
Fuzjko Hemming, piano
Marek Szpakiewicz, cello

Overcoming severe hearing difficulties, Fuzjko Hemming beat the odds to become a highly-acclaimed concert pianist, sharing her gift for music with the world. At the age of 16, this international classical icon was struck with deafness and remains partially deaf today. In 1999, her documentary broadcast in Japan created a huge sensation, which made her a star with the multi-million selling debut album "La Campanella" in her late 60s. Ms. Hemming received the Classical Album of the Year Award at Japan's prestigious Gold Disc Awards, not only once but four time-- an unusual success that has never been achieved by any other artist.
