Fuzjko Hemming, Pianist July 5, 2012

Having wowed much of the Eastern Hemisphere for years, 80-year-old world-renowned classical pianist (who is nearly deaf) Fuzjko Hemming has returned to the U.S. for a tour. Fuzjko (Ingrid Fuzjko Hemming) was born in Berlin to a Japanese pianist mother and a Swedish father. When Fuzjko was a child, her family relocated to Tokyo. By 16, she was hailed a child prodigy and made her concert debut at 17. She won numerous prestigious competitions and prizes. A portion of the proceeds from the 'Arigato Charity Concert' will go to the 2011 Japan Relief Fund for the earthquake and tsunami victims in Japan.
