Sendai Classical Festival 2026: The Journeys of Three and a Miraculous Reunion Unofficial

Several years after first meeting at the Sendai International Music Competition, these three talented artists—who have each forged their own musical paths and continued to achieve remarkable success—will reunite on the same stage. This will be a truly special moment where paths and miracles intersect, woven together by violinist Kazumi Tachibana, cellist Tomohiro Yoshioka, and pianist John-Hwan Kim. The program features a piano trio arrangement by T. Kirchner of Schumann’s “Six Etudes in Canon Form,” as well as Brahms’s Piano Trio No. 3, a work imbued with passion and maturity. These young talents will fully showcase the fruits of their dedicated practice, delivering the profound charm of chamber music through their intimate ensemble playing. Within the resonant dialogue of their music, you will sense the paths they have walked and the hope they hold for the future they are about to create. We invite you to come to the venue and enjoy this gem of a collaboration by these accomplished artists.
