About the Event

Since Hiromi thrilled NC State LIVE audiences back in 2009 and again with Stanley Clarke in 2011, her ebullient piano playing has continued to eclipse the boundaries of jazz, classical and pop. Her new project “Sonicwonder” is an electrified four-piece band with heavy groove, featuring Adam O’Farrill on trumpet, Hadrien Feraud on bass, and Gene Coye on drums. Trust us when we say you want to be in the room when this happens.

Born in Hamamatsu, Japan in 1979, Hiromi’s first piano teacher, Noriko Hikida, exposed Hiromi to jazz and in 1999 she moved to the US to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Since then, she has taken the jazz world by storm, winning major awards and playing with the likes of Chick Corea, on bassist Stanley Clarke’s Grammy-winning Jazz in the Garden, and at the opening ceremonies of the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. An evening with Hiromi is exhilarating.
