Masako Ohta transforms the piano into a poetic sound garden

On Saturday, October 10, 2026, Japanese pianist, sound performer, and composer Masako Ohta invites you to the beccult in Pöcking. Her solo evening In Dialogue – My Music Garden starts at 7:00 PM and combines classical piano music, contemporary Japanese sounds, and free improvisation into an intense concert experience.

A musical garden between Europe and Japan

Masako Ohta guides through soundscapes where Schubert, Mozart, Chopin, Brahms, Debussy, Zimmermann, and Cage meet contemporary compositions by Hosokawa, Fujieda, and Yasuda. The selection opens a dialogue between Western music history, Japanese sound aesthetics, and current improvisation.

Improvisation as a lively dialogue

At the center is Ohta's special stage performance: She interprets composed works and expands them partially through improvisations. This creates a finely orchestrated arrangement of attack, resonance, silence, and reverberation. The piano becomes a sound space where musical ideas develop immediately.

Poetic sound colors and intense live atmosphere

As a motto for her album My Music Garden, Ohta chose a haiku by Matsuo Bashō. The nature metaphor also shapes the concert evening: delicate lines, transparent harmonies, and surprising sound movements create a focused, sensual audience atmosphere. Her playing combines technical precision with an open, breathing sound language.

An award-winning pianist

Masako Ohta studied classical piano in Tokyo and Berlin and completed masterclasses with György Sebök, András Schiff, and György Kurtág. Her solo albums Poetry Album, My Japanese Heart, and My Music Garden were released by Winter & Winter. My Japanese Heart was nominated for the German Record Prize. For her work, Ohta has received, among other awards, the music promotion prize of the Bavarian capital, Munich; in 2026, she was nominated for the German Jazz Prize in the category of keyboard instruments.

Conclusion: An evening of piano full of discoveries

Visitors can expect a concentrated, poetic concert between new music, classical tradition, and improvised openness. Those who wish to experience Masako Ohta's sound world live will find a special evening at beccult with subtle nuances, surprising twists, and lasting musical impact.
