In spite of adopting a busy but disposable music industry, Mas Simo has been taking on a more imaginable approach and his unforgettable performances to build strong connection with his audience.Mas Simo graduated with the highest marks from the Toho Gakuen College of Music in Tokyo, and then he went on to study at the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music in Hungary. In addition, he took postgraduate studies in piano accompaniment at the Royal Academy of Music in the UK.Mas Simo has benefited from the advice and support of international musicians including Nelly Miricioiu, Benjamin Zander, Julius Drake and Ferenc Rados. His concert activities are diverse and extensive, encompassing solo, chamber music and song accompaniment appearances. He has performed in London, Amsterdam, Budapest, Prague and Tokyo. Mas Simo also enjoys vocal recitals with many international singers. Recently he has started working on a project to perform songs by Erwin Schulhoff, Viktor Ullmann, Pavel Haas and Franz Schreker.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/15/2007
Band Members: Mas Simo has been inspired by many his colleagues such as singers and instrumentalists with whom he has been playing together.
Influences: Mas Simo has been so much influenced by the European culture especially from his experiences of living and studying in continental Europe and the UK over a decade. His repertoire is wide range, not only piano solos but also from the vocal accompaniment to piano trios.
Sounds Like: Mas Simo thinks that the glossy and artificial style of performances never bring the music devotees into the classical music. His passionate and thoughtful interpretation, and his outstanding musical sense are a welcome relief.
Type of Label: None
