Kotaro Fukuma, Piano: Flagship Series

​Arts from Japan presents “Shimmering Water,” a recital by acclaimed pianist Kotaro Fukuma at the Community School of Music and Art in Mountain View. On October 27, 2026, at 7pm, Fukuma traces water’s shimmer and surge across two centuries of piano repertoire, from Mendelssohn’s Gondellied and Debussy’s Cathédrale engloutie to his own transcriptions of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde and Smetana’s The Moldau. The program also features Toru Takemitsu’s meditative Rain Tree Sketches. A First Prize winner at the Cleveland International Piano Competition, Fukuma brings virtuosity and depth to this rare Bay Area appearance.
