One of the most revered artists of our time, Mitsuko Uchida is renowned as a peerless interpreter of the works of Mozart, Schubert, Schumann and Beethoven, as well for being a devotee of the piano music of Alban Berg, Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Webern, and György Kurtág.  

She was Musical America’s Artist of the Year in 2022, Music Director of the 2024 Ojai Music Festival, and a Carnegie Hall Perspectives artist from 2022 to 2025.  From 2016 to 2025 she was an artistic partner of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and directed a multi-season touring cycle of Mozart piano concertos from the keyboard.  Her latest recording, a recital of Beethoven’s last three piano sonatas recorded live at Suntory Hall, was released in the summer of 2026.

Her 2026/7 season sees appearances with the Vienna Philharmonic and Riccardo Muti, including a pair of special concerts in Tokyo for the 40th anniversary of Suntory Hall; recitals in Berlin, Munich, Amsterdam, Vienna, London, Luxembourg, Berkeley, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and New York; and further concerto performances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Esa-Pekka Salonen, the London Philharmonic and Vladimir Jurowski, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (also with Vladimir Jurowski), the Berlin Philharmonic with Gustavo Dudamel, and the New York Philharmonic (also with Gustavo Dudamel).
