Call her Naomi: Gilmore Young Artist Kudo makes some changesKalamazoo Gazette

Savvy followers of the Irving S. Gilmore International Keyboard Festival may think they spy a mistake when they see the name of pianist Naomi Kudo.
Kudo, one of two 2008 Gilmore Young Artist award recipients (the other is Adam Golka), changed her professional name from Rachel Kudo -- or Rachel Naomi Kudo, which she also has used -- to Naomi Kudo this winter.
"My parents had expressed that they would like me to maybe use my middle name because that's also my Japanese name," Kudo said by phone from her
She expects to answer to both for quite some time.
"Everybody still calls me Rachel," she said. "I think it's always been my parents who called me Naomi. I'm really happy with anything as long as I can keep doing what I do and keep playing more music."
"It was such a great experience," she said. "We got to really look around the city, and we also visited a lot of important musical sites: Beethoven's old house, Mozart's old house, the cemetery where Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert and all these people were buried."
Kudo said it was interesting to see the differences between European and American students.
"It was really cool that, even though some of the other students didn't speak English very well when we started rehearsal, we got to communicate through our music," she said. "I think that was a common experience for all of us."
Kudo also describes her Carnegie Hall chamber-music appearance in December 2007 as a career highlight. She appeared with a violinist from Juilliard.
"We worked on Brahms violin sonatas with Emanuel Ax and David Zinman and also a clarinetist, Richard Stoltzman," she said. "That was like one of the most intense and amazing weeks, because every day we were coaching and playing and training and asking Mr. Ax and Mr. Zinman questions. It was also very touching because these busy and important people were really interested in helping us young artists out. I thought that was such an incredible thing."
Kudo's schedule at the Gilmore includes a slot at the opening dinner on April 25, an
Her solo recital performances will feature J.S. Bach's Overture in the French Style in B Minor, BWV 831; Carl Vine's Sonata No. 1; Ravel's "Sonatine"; and Schumann's "Carnaval, Op. 9." The symphonic collaboration in
For her opening dinner set, she said she plans to play short works and transcriptions that are "popular and easy to enjoy," including "The Flight of the Bumblebee."
