Eriko Hasegawa Piano Recital

Originally from Japan but now refining her craft at the Liszt Academy in Budapest, Eriko Hasegawa is one of the most promising pianists of her generation. Her playing is defined by a blend of technical command and stylistic versatility, qualities that earned her the prestigious Chrysanthemum Scholarship for outstanding students in 2026. Since beginning her studies in Hungary, she has become an active fixture of the local music scene, appearing equally at home in the spotlight of a grand concerto or the intimacy of a chamber ensemble.

This evening’s programme distills the vast eras and emotional landscapes of piano literature into a single performance. The journey travels from the lyrical vignettes of Schubert and the dramatic intensity of a Liszt ballad to the delicate textures of Ravel’s Sonatine, ultimately reaching the dreamlike soundscapes of contemporary Japanese composer Makiko Kinoshita. Eriko Hasegawa’s performance offers an evocative cultural dialogue, where East Asian precision meets the melodic, character-driven traditions of the Budapest school.
