Music Network presents the incredibly gifted pianist Yukine Kuroki in March. She
has conquered the hearts of many in recent years, winning both the Liszt Utrecht
Competition and Dublin International Piano Competition in 2022, as well as being
awarded third prize at the prestigious Rubinstein Competition in 2023. Her mastery
of the instrument prompted leading Canadian pianist Janina Fialkowska to
describe Kuroki as “a true poet at the piano, who can make you cry with a single
note”.
