Yuhi Ozaki (piano)

We are delighted to inform you about this soirée musicale with Yuhi Ozaki, who is considered to be one of the most promising Japanese pianist of the next generation. This evening is one of those rare occasion that is being organised in appreciation to the serious requests and demands from fellow pianists. I had the opportunity to hear Yuhi Ozaki after a long interval and the once child prodigy has transformed himself into a pianist of refined style and effortless control of music. "The fish has finally found his water" in Europe, quite distanced from many Japanese pianists that I have encountered.

Yuhi Ozaki, born in 1989, has been a household name in the Japanese piano scene from his early age through his extensive public appearances with orchestras and solo recitals both at home and abroad. Under the tutorage of famous pedagogue Mme Fumiko Eguchi, he swept away the Gold Prize and Grand-Prix in various categories of nationwide PTNA Piano Competition followed by 1st and EMCY Prize at Ettlingen Internatuonal Competition for Young Pianists, diplome at Franz Liszt (Weimar), Henk de By Incentive Prize at Franz Liszt (Utrecht) and Diploma of Outstanding Merit at the 7th Hamamatsu International Piano Competition. From 2007 Yuhi Ozaki has resided in Hannover where he continues his studies with Prof.Arie Vardi at the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover in Künstleriche Ausbuildung. Yuhi Ozaki's orchestra engagements have included Baden-Badener Philharmonie, Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra and Century Orchestra Osaka., a concert tour with PMF Chamber Music Orchestra in 2011. He has played concerts in the major countries of Europe and the USA,and Japan. He has performed solo recitals at Suntory Hall and Kioi Hall.
