Tomoko Mukaiyama
One of the most prestigious performers of the piano today, and also one of the most peculiar. As a pianist, Tomoko is acclaimed for her vivid interpretations of both historical and modern compositions. She has played with many prestigious orchestras and ensembles in the world, including: Ensemble Modern (Frankfurt, Germany) London Sinfonietta (London, United Kingdom) Ensemble Intercontemporain (Paris, France) Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
Tomoko’s unique approach to the piano has inspired several composers, such as Louis Andriessen, to write works for her. For two decades she has also developed as a visual artist, which has led her to rethink the concert space as a stage for Installations and performances, combining music with contemporary dance, fashion and visual art.
