BIOGRAPHY

First Prize winner of the Birmingham International Piano Competition, Maiko Mori is an international soloist and chamber musician distinguished by her “bracing technical command” and “captivating tonal sonority.” Since her UK concerto debut under Vasily Petrenko, she has performed at prestigious venues worldwide, including London’s Purcell Room, Tokyo’s Suntory Hall, and the Kolarac in Belgrade.

She has also been a featured artist at major international festivals, including the Cheltenham Festival (UK), the Malta Spring Festival (Malta), and the Lidköping Music Festival (Sweden). Her performances have frequently been broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and Radio France.
Since making her UK concerto debut under Vasily Petrenko, Maiko has made numerous international concerto appearances. Her notable performances include Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 at the Kyoto Concert Hall under Tetsuro Ban, and Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 2 at St Cyprian's, London, under Levon Parikian.

An artist of exceptional versatility, Maiko performs a wide range of concertos and solo works and is a keen chamber musician with a particular interest in modern and contemporary repertoire, especially jazz/classical fusion. Her latest album, Chasm (Orchid Classics), features a collection of modern Études and has been hailed by Pianist magazine as “bracing” and “thrilling," further showcasing her mastery of contemporary repertoire. Known for bringing both structural clarity and lyrical nuance to the stage, Maiko continues to establish herself as a commanding presence in the international piano scene.

Alongside her performing career, Maiko is passionate about nurturing younger generations of musicians internationally. She teaches at the University of Chichester and has been a regular faculty member of PIANO WEEK, where she gives masterclasses and recitals. She has served as a jury member for the Montecatini International Piano Competition and was recently appointed as an Artist for TIPA (Tokyo International Piano Association).
