Visit the fascinating Foundling Museum in Bloomsbury and enjoy a recital from one of our MMSF Instrumental Fellows.

Rieko Makita is a Japanese-Australian pianist undertaking her Master of Performance as a Noswad Charity Award Holder at the Royal College of Music London, under the tutelage of Sofya Gulyak and Dinara Klinton. Rieko is currently the piano fellow for the Philharmonia MMSF Instrumental Fellowship Programme 2021/2022 and an ambassador for the Benedetti Foundation 2022. She has been generously supported by the Bliss Trust Scholarship, Busby Musical Scholarship and Henderson Travellers Scholarship in the past.

As a soloist, Rieko has performed across Australia, Japan, Italy, Germany, and Austria. She has played in major venues, including the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall and the City Recital Hall in Angel Place.

Rieko is also a passionate chamber musician, being involved in performances with members of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and Southbank Sinfonia. Moving to London in March 2021, Rieko is very excited to be pursuing her solo and collaborative pianist in the UK.
