Young Pianist Sterling Nasa Invited to Play La La Land Concert in Los Angeles

Young pianist Sterling Nasa is heading to Los Angeles this weekend to perform after receiving a direct invitation from Oscar-winning composer and conductor Justin Hurwitz. Nasa became the accidental star of a La La Land concert following a night out, which unexpectedly paved the way for an opportunity to play in the real-life city where the movie is set.[1][2][3]

Reflecting on the unexpected turn of events that led to the upcoming Los Angeles performance, the young musician described the experience of being invited by Hurwitz as pretty surreal. The invitation marks a major milestone for Nasa, transitioning from an accidental star of a concert event to taking the stage in California.[1][2][3]
