Yoko Kikuchi

Born in Tokyo and currently based in Brussels, she developed her pianistic skills under the guidance of the French pianist Nicole Henriot Schweitzer and the Russian pianist Yevgenia Yarmonenko. She has received several prizes at international competitions and has given numerous recitals, while maintaining an active career in chamber music. She has more than twenty five years of teaching experience as a piano professor at the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles.

She also holds a diploma in mental coaching through personal development training. Throughout her artistic journey, she has explored jazz, improvisation, and composition, closely connected to spiritual experiences rooted in the present moment. Since 2016, she has produced several concert projects for piano and percussion based on her own concept of personal development. These projects go beyond the interpretation of classical music and aim to create events designed to contribute to the improvement of modern society through the connection between music and spirituality.
