Keiko Shichijo has repeatedly astonished listeners at the Pianolab with her exceptional performances of compositions by John Cage, J.S. Bach, and others. As on the piano, she has developed her skills on the fortepiano to the highest mastery.

The current concert she plays on her own instrument, which was brought from Japan to Amsterdam in 2011, where she lives and works.

Mozart on an instrument as it was customary in his own time.
