Naoko Osada, originally from Japan, started musical studies at the age of 4 in Tokyo, and gave her first public performance 8 months later. She has been performing both as a chamber musician and soloist in Japan, England, Switzerland, US, and Canada. She frequently gives solo recitals in Tokyo, with a broad repertoire ranging from the baroque to the contemporary. Her collaborative performances are highly regarded for their lyrical intensity and subtle nuanced work by many singers, string players, wind players and percussionists.
Ms.Osada holds the Bachelor of Music degree from Ochanomizu University (Tokyo, Japan), Artist Diploma with distinction from Trinity College of Music (London, England), Performer's Certificate and Master of Music degree from the University of Connecticut (Storrs, US), where she was awarded numerous scholarships. Having studied with the late Takeko Funaki, the late Shuichiro Endo, Nina Sereda, Neal Larrabee, Volodymyr Vynnytzky, Akira Imai and Rudolf Buchbinder, she completed the Doctor of Music degree in piano performance program at the University of Alberta in 2013, under the supervision of Professor Jacques Després. Her doctoral project, through a sequence of lectures, recitals and recordings of Mamiya's representative solo piano and chamber works, was to utilize and enrich an expanding intercultural musical language through a focus on trans-cultural spaces, in which harmonic complexity, rhythmic complexity, and dense virtuosic style coexists with strains of indigenous voices, folk traditions, and local cultures.
