Biography

Takagi was born and raised in Hyogo, Japan. In junior high, she was asked to compose a song for her class for a school event. The experience inspired her to be interested in music composition. She majored in piano in high school, and enrolled in composition major in university.

In her freshman year, she received an assignment from her teacher, Prof. Yoko Kubo, to compose "100 variations of the same piece in one year." From this task, she learned the basics of composition.

She studied composition with Yoko Kubo and Allain Gaussin. Currently she is working as a lecturer at Osaka College of Music[4] in Osaka, Japan.

As a music genre that one may find difficult to listen to, Takagi wants to turn contemporary music to something more familiar for everyone. She has been organizing events like small concerts with new musical arrangements to engage people’s interest in contemporary music.

Performances

In 2019, she won First Prize in the composition category of the Geneva International Music Competition[5] a gateway for young musicians. Her award-winning work "L'instant" was selected as a task piece in the oboe section of the same competition held in 2021[6].

"L'instant" means "moment" in French, and was inspired by the famous painting "Candle" from the Japanese painter Yajuro Takashima. In this work, the "mystery" and "impression" of the ancient Greeks fire were revived and expressed through modern music.
