Additional Info:

Naoko Osada, originally from Japan, started musical studies at the age of 4 in Tokyo, and gave her first public performance 8 months later. Having performed both as a chamber musician and soloist in Japan, Europe, US and Canada, she's given solo recitals in Tokyo, with a broad repertoire ranging from the baroque to the contemporary. Her collaborative performances are highly regarded for their subtle nuanced work by many singers and instrumentalists. Her past teachers include the late Takeko Funaki, the late Shu'ichiro Endo, Nina Sereda, Neal Larrabee, Volodymyr Vynnytzky, Akira Imai, Jacques Després, and Rudolf Buchbinder.

Ms. Osada holds the Bachelor of Music degree from Ochanomizu Women’s University (Tokyo, Japan), Artist Diploma with distinction from Trinity College of Music (London, England), Performer's Certificate with distinction and the Master of Music degree from the University of Connecticut (Storrs, US), and the Doctor of Music degree in piano performance from the University of Alberta. She was awarded numerous merit-based and full tuition scholarships, and worked as a graduate assistant pianist and piano/chamber music instructor. Her doctoral project, through a sequence of lectures, recitals and recordings of Michio Mamiya’s representative solo piano and chamber works, is to utilize and enrich an expanding intercultural musical language through a focus on trans-cultural spaces, in which harmonic complexity, rhythmic complexity, and dense virtuosic style coexists with strains of indigenous voices, folk traditions, and local cultures.
