Accolades continue to pour in following Takako's recital at Toronto's Glenn Gould Studio. With Megumi Okamoto, piano, Takako performed selections from her recording, Sakura, featuring beautifully melodic early 20th century Japanese Art Songs, Schubert Lieder, and operatic treats for the highly appreciative full house.

Review of Takako's Sasebo concert in the Yomiuri Shimbun.


Following highly acclaimed performances in Japan, Toronto had a rare opportunity to hear soprano Takako Yanagida perform a program of exquisite Japanese art songs and opera classics to a full house at the Glenn Gould Studio. With Chiharu Zeng, piano.


Takako recently returned from Japan after a very successful recital, 'Takako in Osaka IV', her sixth biannual solo recital in the Kobe/Osaka area. This enchanting program at the amazing Phoenix Hall included traditional and modern Japanese art song and opera favourites and was enthusiastically received by the full house. The recital was featured in the Yomiuri Shimbun, Japan's national newspaper.
