Overview

Experience the brilliant artistry of Japanese classical pianist Aimi Kobayashi (whose name is also known as Manami Kobayashi in some listings) in her major solo recital tour across Japan in early 2026. Aimi Kobayashi, a celebrated pianist and 4th prize winner at the 18th International Chopin Piano Competition, is renowned for her delicate yet powerful touch and exceptional expressive range. This tour offers a unique opportunity to witness her masterful interpretation of demanding piano repertoire.

The program is thoughtfully curated to showcase masterpieces that span different eras and styles, including works by composers celebrating major anniversaries. The recital features a substantial cornerstone with Schumann’s Kreisleriana, Op. 16, a deeply emotional work she has long wished to perform, alongside the graceful complexity of Chopin’s Three Mazurkas, Op. 59. The concert is framed by works of Ravel—the short Prélude and A la manière de Borodine and Chabrier, concluding with his late masterpiece, Le tombeau de Couperin.
