第四届鼓浪屿钢琴节—牧真之羽管键琴音乐会

    牧真之先生是来自日本长野县的一位年轻的钢琴家和羽管键琴家。牧先生毕业于位于东京的武藏野音乐学院。该院是全世界规模最大的音乐学府，每年吸引了世界各地的音乐人到此演出。在此期间，牧先生师从著名捷克钢琴家JAN HORÁK教授和科隆音乐学院的PAVEL GILILOV教授。此后多次在地区及国际比赛中获奖，其中包括全日本独奏家大赛、亚洲古典音乐大赛和横须贺国际音乐大赛。在此期间，牧先生创立了“须阪三重奏”音乐组合，并已连续两年在日本各地举办多场音乐会。

    此后，牧先生应邀来到久负盛名的美国印第安那大学音乐学院，追随钢琴家SHIGEO NERIKI教授，进一步研习钢琴演奏。与此同时，牧先生得到著名羽管键琴家ELISABETH WRIGHT教授的赏识，开始研习羽管键琴理论和演奏方法。他的主攻方向是文艺复兴、巴洛克和古典音乐。

    在此期间，牧先生还前往TAFELMUSIK巴洛克暑期音乐学院和LONGY国际巴洛克音乐学院，拜会了多伦多大学的CHARLOTTE NEDIGER教授和纽约州立大学的ARTHUR HAAS教授，并得到了他们的指点。牧先生还经常往返于多伦多大学、LONGY音乐学校和哈佛大学，为布鲁明顿、TBSI 和IBIL管弦乐队示范并演奏羽管键琴。近期，牧先生还有幸拜会了斯坦福大学的名誉教授JOAN BENSON女士，为她的新书CLAVICHORD PEDAGOGY录制了羽管键琴教学用曲。

    牧先生不但精于羽管键琴和钢琴演奏，还擅长演奏管风琴和古钢琴，已经成为日本须坂市及美国印第安那大学最受欢迎的年轻的键盘音乐家。
