This event is in the past.
It’s no wonder that Michiaki Ueno won first prize at the Geneva International Music Competition in 2021. When it comes to the interplay between his inherent reserve and the ability to put all his energy into making music, this brilliant and charismatic musician pushes the boundaries of what is possible.
