BIOGRAPHY

Young Japanese soprano MISAKI MORINO is hailed by both Austrian and Japanese audiences for her “pure and clear voice” and is quickly building a reputation as one of the most exciting up-and-coming singers for Baroque, Classical and Contemporary Music but also German Lieder and Operetta.

Misaki studied at the Tokyo University of the Arts. In 2014 she finished her Masters degree with distinction at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. She successfully attended Master Classes with famed coloratura soprano Edita Gruberova at the Richard Strauss Festival in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, with Austrian mezzo-soprano Angelika Kirchschlager and world-famous Austrian lieder accompanist Helmut Deutsch.

In Japan she earned both a Rohm Music Foundation Scholarship and the Agency for Cultural Affairs Overseas Residence Program for Emerging Artists Scholarship.

As a concert singer Misaki has appeared at Wiener Musikverein, at the Brucknerhaus Linz and Vienna’s St. Stephen Cathedral among others. She has also sung with the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra in Bulgaria, the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, the Tokyo Sinfonia, the Okayama Philharmonic Orchestra in Japan and the Sinfonietta Baden in Austria.
