Sayaka Shoji
Violin
Since taking First Prize at the 1999 Paganini Competition – the first Japanese and youngest artist ever to do so – Sayaka Shoji has performed with the world’s leading conductors.
In addition to a busy schedule of concerto performances, Shoji appears regularly as a recitalist and chamber musician, and has recorded multiple discs for Deutsche Grammophon. Her debut CD with Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra was released to critical acclaim.
