Yuki Inagawa

Born in Sapporo (Japan), Yuki Inagawa received her first piano lessons when she was six, and later also studied voice. She studied piano at the Toho Gakuen Academy of Music in Tokyo, and pursued her studies at the Hanns Eisler University of Music in Berlin. Early on, Yuki Inagawa garnered prizes at international piano and chamber music competitions; she has performed recitals in Japan, Hungary and Germany. She was the recipient of the Steinway Advancement Prize in 2003. As a soloist she has given very successful recitals in the major concert halls of Berlin, including the Philharmonie and the Konzerthaus. Regular appearances in different line-ups in festivals and chamber music recitals, orchestral engagements (including many years with Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra), along with coaching and accompaniment for a series of instrumentalists and choirs round off her multiple artistic activities. Since 2008 she has been teaching piano at Shostakovich Music School in Berlin-Lichtenberg.
