The rare poetry and passion of the playing of Steinway Artist Yuki Negishi captivates audiences around the world.  From Europe to concerts and recitals in Japan, China, Bangladesh and the USA, and over 800 performances in the UK, Yuki’s virtuosity illuminates the traditional classical repertoire and introduces listeners to the delights of little-known composers and contemporary compositions. Equally at ease on radio and TV as well as the concert platform, Yuki has been broadcast on BBC Radio 3, Scala Radio, Channel 4 and ITV and channels in Holland, France, Poland and Romania. Her recent online series of performances entitled “Piano Music by Women” was singled-out by Pianist magazine as exceptional and she has maintained an energetic virtual and live schedule, including appearances in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Zurich Tonhalle, Absolute Classics, Blanc European Festival, Toppan Hall Tokyo, Southbank Centre and more.
