Yu Kosego made her debut with the New City Orchestra in Tokyo at the age of 9. In 1993 she moved to Europe, and now lives in Germany. She appears at the most important venues in Europe, North America and further afield. Her Carnegie Hall debut recital met with outstanding success with critics praising her “acutely poetic sensibility…wit, drama, and effulgent lyricism”.
