“She will be including two pieces by Clara and a number of pieces by the great composers of the day that Clara knew or was connected with, including Brahms, Beethoven, Chopin and her husband, Robert Schumann.

“Audiences experience a musician with European sensibility and Japanese roots.

“She has a constant goal of presenting a dialogue between pianist and composer.

Reiko took up the piano at the age of three and was trained in Japan, the USA and London.
