Classical Pianist ShiZ’ka

Classical Pianist SHIZ’KA Releases BRILLIANCE & FERVOR

NEW YORK – July 20, 2020 — KeyMedia Group is proud to announce the release of ShiZ’ka’s second album of solo piano performances, BRILLIANCE & FERVOR LIVE, featuring music from Scarlatti, Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, and Prokofiev. Recorded as a live streaming concert it was initially broadcast on June 20 at St. John’s in the Village with MUSAE, KeyMedia Group and ShiZ’ka producing the event.  With the ongoing challenge in the arts, live streaming has helped to save the livelihood and state of mind of millions of musicians while providing a respite to audiences worldwide. The audience response to ShiZ’ka’s concert, “dazzling performance,” “a force of nature,” “deeply moving to the point of shouting out brava in my own apartment!” describes the intensity in which the young pianist faces the present climate and future of live music. With the ongoing struggle in the classical community to engage new young audiences, ShiZ’ka 26, represents a new bold and vivacious group of up and coming female classical artists, serving as a beacon for young people to embrace classical music.

Shizuka “ShiZ’ka” Saeki is a classical pianist who began playing at age 4.  She studied with renowned Japanese teachers, Toshimi Sakou, Keita Kosaka, Makoto Yamahata, and Mako Okamoto, before she built up her reputation as an exciting and nuanced performer. Her talents have taken her throughout Japan and the United States. At the age of 17, ShiZ’ka was a finalist in the Japan Classical Music Society competition. In college, she studied at Doshisha Women’s College of Liberal Arts, supplementing her classical training with studies in jazz. While living in Japan, she studied with famed jazz pianist Makot Takenaka and then with Yoko Yamamoto, at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.
