Yukie Yamaguchi was born in Japan. After
completing her postgraduate degree in modern violin there with Toshiya Eto she
went to study baroque violin with Lucy van Dael at the Amsterdam Conservatory,
receiving her Masters degree with distinction in 2010.
Her passion for chamber music playing has
led to the receipt of awards from international competitions, including: First
prize, public prize and ORF recording prize in the "Premio Bonporti”
(Italy, 2004 with Ricreation d' Arcadia), First prize in the "Musica
Antiqua Brugge" (Belgium, 2006 with Duo Fortepiano-Violin).
Yukie is a founding member of several
chamber ensembles, including Ensemble Ricreation d’Arcadia, Duo Otonoe, and
Ensemble Dulcibella. Since 2004
she has, together with Masato Suzuki (harpsichordist, organist, composer), led
Ensemble Genesis, which performs baroque repertoire as well as contemporary
music.
This ensemble’s recordings of Biber,
Vivaldi, Hindemith, Niigaki, and Feldmann for NHK Hi-vision TV program have
been well-received.
She has been invited to perform chamber
music at festivals such as MA festival, Nantes’ Printemps des Arts, Amsterdam’s
Grachtenfestival, Barocktage Stift Melk, and Musica Antica Urbino.
Yukie also appears regularly with Bach
Collegium Japan (dir. Masaaki Suzuki) for both cantata and orchestral projects,
Il Complesso Barocco (dir. Alan Curtis), Collegium Musicum Den Haag (dir.
Claudio Ribeiro), L’arte del mondo (dir. Werner Ehrhardt), and B’Rock.
