  NANAE MIMURA, marimba


  Nanae Mimura is being hailed as one of the most significant marimba players of her generation. With a wide repertoire that reflects her interest in many styles of music, Ms. Mimura's warm and soulful performance style has been enthusiastically received by critics and audiences alike. Ms. Mimura recently performed in the U.S., Europe and Japan. She performed her Boston debut recital at the Boston Conservatory Theater and New York debut recital at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in October 1999. The latter was sponsored by Concert Artists Guild, Asahi Breweries, Ltd. and Yamaha Corporation of America. Other Massachusetts performances included the world premiere of a marimba concerto by Kenji Kikuchi with the Melrose Symphony Orchestra, and a concert at the Berklee College of Music Mallet Keyboard Festival at which she has been a member of the faculty for two years. She performed at the World Drum Festival in Hamburg, Germany and Percfest in Laigueglia, Italy. Recent performances in Japan include a marimba concerto with the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra at Orchard Hall in Tokyo in December 1999. She performed her formal Tokyo debut at Kioi Hall in January 2000, sponsored by Japan Arts Corporation, Sony Music Entertainment, Asahi Breweries, Ltd. and Yamaha Corporation.

Still in her mid-twenties, Ms. Mimura is the winner of three prestigious competitions. At the 1999 Concert Artists Guild Competition she received the Nathan Wedeen Management award. In 1998 she won first prize in the Settimane Musicale di Lugano Solo Competition. She received first prize at the Percussive Arts Society Marimba Competition in 1997. Other awards include first prize in the Japan Percussion Society's 13th Percussion Competition and the NTT DoCoMo Award. While in Switzerland in 1998 performing several solo recitals, she became the youngest recipient of the Premio Alosi given by the Associazione Lirico Orchestrale della Svizzera Italiana.

Nanae Mimura was born in Japan in 1974. She began to play the marimba at age three, the piano at five, and percussion instruments at thirteen. She graduated from Kunitachi College of Music at the top of her class in 1997, receiving the prestigious Takeoka Award. She is currently a student at the Boston Conservatory working toward a Master of Music in Marimba. Her teachers include the acclaimed marimbist Nancy Zaltsman and Boston Pops percussionist Patrick Hollenbeck.

Ms. Mimura is represented by Concert Artists Guild Management in New York, and is a Yamaha performing artist. Her first solo CD for Sony Classical Japan will be released in September 2000.
