A biography might be short if you're not yet a teenager, but Umi already has a pianistic rap sheet as long as your arm. At 8: Ellen DeGeneres Show. At 9: debut with the Wuhan Symphony (Mozart). At 10, won International Chopin Competition & played at Carnegie Hall. At 11, performed at the Assisi nel Mondo Festival. Featured on "From The Top" she performed with Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops. She speaks English and Japanese, and loves to draw, visit museums, and travel.

A bright young pianistic star, Umi has already won more than a dozen piano competitions and made numerous concert appearances around the world, both as a solo recitalist and with orchestras from Boston to Wuhan.

Register for EG 2020.

30 April - 2 May 2020

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a superb program for EG2020. However, in light of growing and legitimate concerns regarding the rapid spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) which have gutted international events of all sizes, we have made the difficult decision to put EG on hiatus until it is once again deemed safe.


We know how much each of you look forward to EG and we were looking forward to seeing old friends, and welcoming many new ones, but we do need to prioritize the health and safety of our attendees, presenters, and partners, especially those traveling from afar.

We will be in touch in due course with future plans.
