ABOUT TOMOKI
Following his finalist finish at the 2013 Cliburn at only 19, Tomoki garnered the top prizes at the 2016 Franz Liszt International Piano Competition (Budapest) and the 2019 Kissinger Klavierolymp (Bad-Kissingen), and has made recital and chamber appearances across Europe, Asia, the United States, and Africa. Active as a composer since the age of 6, he has continued to cultivate this craft, having recently been commissioned for new works to be performed in Japan’s most prestigious venues. He received both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover, and is currently at home in Japan.
