Maria João Pires Fumiaki

A tribute to Ginette Neveu:

Maria João Pires has ha everything but a conventional career. She only participates in projects that motivate her. On October 27, 1949, Maria João Pires at the age of four attended a Ginette Neveu concert in Lisbon. The following day, the famous violinist died in a plane crash in the Azores Islands. Maria João Pires believes that this concert and the sound of Neveu's violin awakened her musical vocation. Whenever she hears a violin, she looks for the sound of Ginette Neveu. It must be this same inspiration that has led her to start a collaboration with Fumiaki Miura, with a beautiful and demanding program and with the desire to mentor this young violinist with all her wisdom and knowledge.
