Japanese-American pianist Ayane Nakajima has garnered recognition for her “emotional warmth and celestial lyricism”   as a soloist and chamber musician. Active across the United States and Europe, she has appeared in major venues such as Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, New World Center, and both Steinway Hall New York and London. She is a celebrated prize winner of the Pianale, YoungArts, International Keyboard Odyssiad, and Young Texas Artists competitions, and is a member of Talent Unlimited and the Keyboard Charitable Trust.
