Ingrid Fuzjko Hemming & MÁV Symphony Orchestra A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Ingrid Fuzjko Hemming was born in 1932 in Berlin, to a Japanese mother and a Swedish father. Hemming began learning to play the piano at a young age from her mother, who was a pianist herself. She was identified as a child prodigy and performed her first concert at seventeen. She graduated from the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music and began her professional career immediately. Hemming received many prestigious honors during this time, including the NHK-Mainichi Music Concour and the Bunka Radio Broadcasting Company Music Prize. She relocated to Germany at the age of 28 to study at the Berlin Institute of Music. Her concert performances at the time were praised by Leonard Bernstein, among others.In 1971, Hemming lost her hearing from a bout of high fever. Nevertheless, she performed many more concerts throughout continental Europe before returning to Japan in 1995. A documentary about her life that aired in 1999 raised public interest in her music. Her subsequent debut CD, “La Campanella”, sold over two million copies worldwide. Hemming debuted at New York’s Carnegie Hall in June 2001 and has collaborated with a number of world-famous orchestras like the Moscow Philharmonics or the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
