Aimi Kobayashi, Piano “Perfect technique, a light touch, fast, and virtuosic.”
Experience an unforgettable evening with acclaimed Japanese pianist Aimi Kobayashi at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre's Kobayashi Hall!

Aimi Kobayashi gave her first recital at Carnegie Hall for the Japan NYC Festival, of which Seiji Ozawa was the musical director, before performing a recital at Tokyo Opera City the following month.
She has already performed with several major orchestras, both in Japan and overseas, including the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century under Frans Bruggen and the Moscow Virtuosi under Vladimir Spivakov. In Japan, she regularly performs with the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra, the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra, and the New Japan Philharmonic.
