Tomoko Mukaiyama

Tomoko Mukaiyama is a boundary-pushing Japanese pianist and multidisciplinary artist whose work blends classical rigor with bold experimentation. Based in the Netherlands, she’s known for reimagining piano repertoire—from Reich and Stravinsky to lesser-known composers—while collaborating across art forms like theater, fashion, and visual installations. Her releases, like *Piano Counterpoint* (reworking Reich’s minimalist patterns) and *Simeon ten Holt: Canto Ostinato*, showcase her knack for hypnotic repetition and sonic textures. She also champions female creators (*Women Composers*) and cross-cultural projects (*Amsterdam x Tokyo*), reflecting her curiosity for dialogue between traditions. Whether performing live with orchestras or crafting immersive performances, Mukaiyama turns the piano into a gateway for unexpected, genre-defying storytelling.
