Hinako Takagi is a Japanese composer, pianist and teacher.
Biography
Takagi was born and raised in Amagasaki, Hyogo. 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. [1]
She studied composition with Yoko Kubo [2]and Allain Gaussin. Currently she is working as a part-time lecturer at Osaka College of Music[3] In Osaka, Japan.
Performances
In 2019, she won First Prize in the composition category of the Geneva International Music Competition [4] a gateway for young musicians. Her award-winning work 「L'instant」[5] was selected as a task piece in the oboe section of the competition to be held in 2021. "L'instant" means "moment" in French, and was composed under the influence of famous Japanese painter Yajuro Takashima's "Candle". In this work, the "mystery" and "impression" of the ancient Greeks fire were revived and expressed through modern music.
In order to turn contemporary music, a music genre that one may find difficult to listen to, to something more familiar for everyone, she and her friends have been organizing events like small concerts with new musical arrangements to engage people’s interest in contemporary music.
In September 2020, her work "Messenger", which is a song based on clouds, will be premiered by Takeshi Hidaka, the principal guest horn player of the Japan Century Symphony Orchestra at the recital(Osaka).[6]
Her work "Lost in ______" for flute solo was selected in the public invitation for PROJECT21st (Hong Kong)[7]. This work is inspired by the modern people living under the coronavirus pandemic situation. Italian flute player Mario Caroli will perform the piece in Hong Kong in the summer of 2021. At the same time, she composed a school song for Shonai Sakuragakuen which will be newly opened in Toyonaka, Osaka. In this song, her wishes are being expressed. One is that she wants to cheer up the students so they would clear a path for their own future. The other is that she wants to leave the recollection of five schools to be combined alive for posterity.[8]
