Sayaka Shoji was the first Japanese and youngest winner, at sixteen, of the Paganini Competition in Genoa in 1999.
She was born into an artistic family and spent her childhood in Siena, Italy. She studied at Hochschule für Musik Köln under Zakhar Bron and graduated in 2004.
Zubin Mehta has been an ardent supporter. When Shoji auditioned for him in 2000, he immediately changed his schedule in order to make her first recording with the Israel Philharmonic possible the following month, then invited her to perform with Bavarian State Opera and Los Angeles Philharmonic. She is so gifted ...enjoy her gift.
