Minako Koyanagi, Piano

Graduated from Toyko National University of Fine Arts & Music. Her play changes the image of the accompaniment. As the ensemble pianist, her greatest charm is her sensibility of capturing the subtleties of emotion and her flexibility to play along with those emotions of various players. She played as the second-soloist when they performed “Cyber Bird Concerto” by Takashi Yoshimatsu with Philharmonia Orchestra and others. Playing with Nobuya Sugawa and Trouvère Quartet is also a major part of her career. She has been playing with them for long time and made many albums together.
