Biography
Winner of the First International Prize in Taiwan (2010), the Prix Clara Haskill (2017) and Silver Medal at the International Tchaikovsky Competition in 2019, pianist Mao Fujita’s musical sensibility has been asserted in the works of Mozart and the romantic repertoire. Valery Gergiev took note of Fujita and invited him to play in London with the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra and collaborations with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra have also punctuated this remarkable start to a career, with recitals at the Fondation Louis Vuitton and the Wigmore Hall. Fujita is an alumnus of the Verbier Festival Academy (2018), and won the Academy’s Tabor Foundation Award for Piano. He returns for the first time this year to play the complete Mozart Sonatas.
