Biography

www.mayumitsuchida.com

Born in Japan on June 8, 1991, 22-year old pianist Mayumi Tsuchida started her piano studies at age 3 and gave her first solo concert at the age of 7. She moved to the US in 1996, and since then has been based in California and New York. Her performances have included several international venues in Asia, South America, and Europe, as both a soloist and a chamber musician

 

Mayumi has attended many prestigious summer festivals including Verbier Festival Academy in Switzerland, The International Holland Music Sessions, the Euro Music Festival in Germany, Yellowbarn Music Festival, and Music@Menlo. Last year, she participated in the launching of the Colon Music Festival, a 2-week music program in San Juan de Colón, Venezuela, where she participated as a faculty member. This summer, she returned to the Euro Music Festival in Germany as a Young Artist, performing in several concerts, as well as attending the international Spaincellence Music Festival in Spain, where she won the Piano Award. She has also participated and won numerous competitions, notable among them are: 2009 Music Teachers Association of California, 2009 San Francisco Young Pianists Competition, 2008 Ross McKee Foundation Piano Competition, and the 2006 University of the Pacific Piano Competition.  

 

 

Mayumi is also a very active chamber musician, beginning with her piano trio, the Luna Trio, which she founded in 2000 at the age of 10 at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. With her trio, she was featured on nationally broadcast radio and television shows throughout the United States. Mayumi made her Carnegie Hall debut with her trio in 2008 for the PBS television show ‘From the Top’, showcasing America’s most talented young musicians. The trio has also been featured on national radio shows such as ‘From The Top’ and ‘West Coast Live’. In 2007, the San Francisco 7x7 Magazine selected the Luna Trio for their annual ‘Hot Twenty Under Forty,’ which selects “people who are making a positive impact in the SF Bay Area”. The trio disbanded in 2011, but she still loves to play chamber music with fellow students and faculty at the Bard Conservatory of Music, as well as other music festivals. 
 
In addition to chamber music, Mayumi is an advocate for contemporary music, and has been involved with a new music ensemble called ‘Contemporaneous’, based in New York, since 2009. Contemporaneous is set on bringing the music of “our time” to audiences, and primarily performs pieces composed by living composers. They have performed in many important venues in New York. As a member of Contemporaneous, Mayumi was a featured artist in their debut CD released by Innova Records. Mayumi has worked with some of the composers themselves, including the Grammy-Award winning American composer Joan Tower.
 
She is currently a senior pursuing a double major in Piano Performance and Chinese at the Bard Conservatory/College, studying with Matti Raekallio. She previously studied with John McCarthy as a scholarship student in the Preparatory Division of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
