Pianist Hiromi Fukuda is an active performer and teacher whose work spans solo, collaborative, and chamber music. A founding member of the Champlain Trio, she tours regularly throughout the Northeast. In 2021, the trio released a six-part Vermont PBS film series, Empty Stages, documenting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on artists and arts organizations across Vermont. The trio has since released two recordings: an album featuring Dora Pejačević’s Piano Trio, supported by a Vermont Arts Council grant, and the more recent Forgotten Voices, which highlights chamber works by Mel Bonis, Alice Verne-Bredt, and Charlotte Sohy. Through these projects, the Champlain Trio has developed a distinctive profile highlighting overlooked repertoire.

Sought after as a collaborator, Ms. Fukuda has performed with artists including violinist Elmar Oliveira, violist Milena Pajaro-van der Stadt, cellist Matt Haimovitz, and bassoonist Judith LeClair, and appeared as solo pianist in Messiaen’s Couleurs de la cité céleste under the direction of Larry Rachleff. She was a fellowship recipient at the Aspen Music Festival and the Tanglewood Music Center and has served on the piano staff at Juilliard, Aspen, and the Hudson Valley Philharmonic String Competition.

Equally committed to teaching, Ms. Fukuda is Instructor of Piano at Amherst College, artist- faculty at the Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival, and previously at Music Academy of the West. She holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from The Juilliard School as well as degrees from Tokyo College of Music.
