Cello

As the winner of the 75th Geneva International Music Competition in 2021, Michiaki Ueno has proven to be one of the most promising artists on the classical music scene.

​Born in Paraguay in 1995, he spent his childhood in Spain. After moving to Japan, Michiaki made his debut as a soloist at the prestigious Suntory Hall at just eleven years old, performing the Lalo Cello Concerto. This led to his win in the International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians and catapulted him onto the international scene. His accolades include first prizes at the Romanian International Music Competition, where he also received the Romanian Embassy Prize and the Romanian Radio Culture Prize, and at the International Johannes Brahms Competition, among others. He attracted the world’s attention at the Geneva International Music Competition with his sensational performance of the Lutoslawski Cello Concerto, winning the first prize with three special awards, including the Young Audience Prize.

​Educated under the tutelage of Iñaki Etxepare, Hakuro Mohri, and Pieter Wispelwey, Michiaki further honed his musicality as an artist-in-residence at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel in Belgium, under Gary Hoffman and Jeroen Reuling. He has enriched his artistry through masterclasses with luminaries like Steven Isserlis and Frans Helmerson, among others.
