With appearances at prestigious venues in the UK and overseas, Reiko Fujisawa has established herself as an exciting and formidable virtuoso performer. Recent and upcoming concerts include performances at the new Stoller Hall in Manchester, the Hebden Bridge Piano Festival, London’s King’s Place (with the Carducci Quartet) and Southbank Centre’s newly-refurbished Purcell Room.

Reiko studied at Tokyo’s Musashino University of Music. Eager to further her knowledge abroad, she spent time in San Francisco and later the UK. There she trained at Trinity College with Martino Tirimo, Benjamin Kaplan and Yonty Solomon. She has been in London ever since.

Reiko’s 2012 CD of works by Bach, Beethoven and Schubert has been followed by a recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, both released on the Quartz label.

Reiko’s programme celebrates the bicentenary of the great pianist Clara Wieck Schumann with an evening of works that Clara performed as a world-famous virtuoso. The music is interspersed with readings from Clara’s diaries and her correspondence with her husband, Robert Schumann.
