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”.
