About

Miki Sawada is a musician who is free-spirited in her pursuit of adventure while showing deep commitment to fully realize classical music's capacity to nurture and strengthen community bonds. In August 2017 she launched her "Gather Hear Alaska" tour, in which she traveled in Alaska with a piano in a van. Accompanied only by a filmmaker, she gave 25 performances in mostly rural community hubs such as cafes, bars, parks, schools.

Miki’s performances have been featured at venues and occasions such as: Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall, Helsinki Music Centre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Dame Myra Hess Series in Chicago, Lincoln Center Stage on Holland America Line, the Banff Centre, and radio stations WQXR (NYC) and WFMT (Chicago). Miki holds degrees from Yale School of Music, Eastman School of Music, and Northwestern University.
