What an honor! Rieko was chosen by Bernard Osher to play at his amazing 80th Birthday Celebration September 9th, held at SF MOMA. It was an extravagant evening filled with passion filled performances and laughter. His esteemed guests flew in from all over the world to attend. From The SF Chronicle's Leah Garchik's column. "Two young students pianist Rieko Tsuchida and cellist Tessa Seymour dazzlingly performed, followed by Adler Fellow Melody Moore, a soprano in need of a tenor for a duet. And then out of the audience came Placido Domingo, the evening's surprise guest." Wow!
