A passionate chamber musician and recitalist, he has graced stages from London’s Wigmore Hall to the Elbphilharmonie, collaborating with artists like Mischa Maisky and Maria João Pires. Since 2018, Miura has served as the Artistic Director of Suntory Hall ARK Classics, where he routinely performs as both soloist and conductor.
