Yoshiko performs as recitalist, soloist, and chamber musician throughout Japan and the New England area.

Her performances have been reported as "carefully colored and musically refined … with a sensitive ear, relating sound to musical expression… Her remarkably unique interpretations were the charm of her performance…" Since her debut concert, she has returned to Japan by invitation to perform in various concert series. She has been invited to several summer festivals, including The New York Keyboard Festival and The Aspen Music Festival as a two-year fellowship. Yoshiko's performances have been broadcast live from the studios of Boston radio stations WGBH & WMNB and Aspen, CO Radio KAJX. In addition to her classical interests, she excels as contemporary artist performing and premiering new works for resident composers and ensembles. Yoshiko received her BM at Toho-Gakuen Conservatory of Music and MM, with honors, at New England Conservatory of Music.
