“Committed to Community,” a project initiated by Yuta Sugano, is a series of performances and presentations given in non-concert hall settings, such as retirement communities, schools, hospitals, and other service locations. Since it was first launched in July 2018, more than 100 events have been booked by these organizations:
Yuta has been playing for us for the past five years. The quality of his music is outstanding, and our residents look forward to his visit each month. Yuta interacts warmly and sincerely with everyone and has a great ability to remember details of his conversations, as he will often reference a conversation from his last visit and play a piece that a resident suggested, for example. His deep knowledge and passion for what he does is amazing, and we look forward to continuing our partnership!
