Ami Rogé – Concert Pianist, Sound Therapist

Born in Japan and raised in the United States, Ami studied music at the Julliard School and then at the Mannes College of Music in New York City. She earned her Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees in piano.

After working as a piano teacher and concert pianist in Manhattan, Ami joined Pascal Rogé to form a two-piano duo that performs worldwide, on the most beautiful international stages: Carnegie Hall in New York City, the Sydney Opera House, the Théâtre des Champs Elysées in Paris, etc.

They play with major orchestras such as the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, the BBC Welsh Orchestra, the Orchester National de France, the Orquesta Sinfonica Municipal de Caracas, the Orquesta Filarmonica de la UNAM de México, the Kremerata Baltica Chamber Orchestra…

Ami and Pascal Rogé recorded several albums under the ONYX label, which were very well received by critics and the public. Their first album, "Wedding Cake," and then their second album, featuring French composers Debussy, Ravel, and Saint-Saëns, was named "CD of the Month" by Gramophone Magazine; this was followed by "Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion by Bartok" and "The Group of Six and Satie," which received very good reviews from Guardians Magazine.

In 2020, after several years of touring and traveling, Ami decided to return to her homeland and settled in Shimonoseki at the time of the pandemic.

Once again a soloist-concert performer, she performs on stage with a rich and varied repertoire, nourished by all her travels and experiences. She also organizes chamber music concerts and invites artists from abroad such as Australia and France.

In January, she had the pleasure of inviting soprano Adeline Timsit for a series of concerts and performances in more unusual venues to promote classical singing, access to live broadcasts, and her love of the French language, which she speaks fluently. The very positive response from the public has inspired her to repeat this piano-voice duo for a concert in January 2026 at the Lifelong Learning Plaza Dream Ship Concert Hall.

Also, throughout her musical journey and her life around the world, Ami realizes the importance of music, "sounds", "waves", "vibrations" and their healing power. A yoga practitioner for many years and always seeking to learn and share, she obtained her diploma as a sound therapist using crystal bowls and her piano.

Thus, with music at her disposal, her therapeutic sessions and her recitals, Ami Rogé continues to make people discover all the benefits of this living and essential art by facilitating access and its proximity to the public
