Shiry Rashkovsky Lauded by The Strad for her ‘thrilling and exuberant’ Royal Festival Hall debut, SHIRY RASHKOVSKY pursues an international and diverse career. In demand as a chamber musician, she is frequently invited to international festivals. She is a founding member of Trio Klein and the founder and Artistic Director of Up Close and Musical festival, held in the intimate Fidelio Café in Clerkenwell. She will be releasing her debut album in 2026, including premiere recordings of works she has commissioned from Errollyn Wallen and Ben Nobuto.
 
 
HIROAKI TAKENOUCHI‘s curiosity, and a natural penchant for integrity makes his playing and vast repertoire unique amongst his generation of pianists. His love for the music of classical masters – particularly Haydn, Beethoven and Chopin – sits side by side with his passion for the music of Medtner, lesser-known British composers such as Sterndale Bennett and Parry, and the contemporary repertoire.
 
As a soloist, Takenouchi has appeared on many concert platforms including Wigmore Hall, Tokyo Opera City and the South Bank Centre, and has given recitals across Europe and North America. 2022 saw the release of his latest solo disc on French specialist piano label Artalinna, featuring works by Grieg, Medtner and Dupré. Hiroaki is also editor of the published scores of Sherwood’s two-piano works (as recorded for Lyrita), now available from Nimbus Music Publishing. He is frequently invited to make recordings for BBC Radio 3’s Composer of the Week. His recording of the Mendelssohn and Sterndale Bennett Sextets with members of Sinfonia Cymru (Artalinna) was released in May 2023. The Russian composer Georgy Catoire’s music is somewhat neglected today but Takenouchi is a passionate advocate of his Piano Concerto and recorded the work with Martin Yates and Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
 
Hiroaki Takenouchi is a Blüthner Artist and owns a beautiful 1922 Blüthner piano. Hiroaki Takenouchi
