Yui KATADA
Yui Katada studied composition at Toho Gakuen College Music Department, Japan. She earned her master's degree in choral conducting from Sibelius Academy, Finland.
She has established a nationwide reputation as a promising choral conductor and composer. Her music focuses on "breaths," which flows constantly between the body and surrounding space. She accurately catches the sense of voice, sound and colour arising from natural breathing, and weaves them into stereophonic harmony with her skillful conducting.
She served as the assistant conductor in the 3rd JCA Youth Choir (hosted by Japan Choral Association) in 2014. Later in the year, she founded "Noema Noesis", a choir which she currently serves as the music director and conductor. Since 2016, she is also the supervisor of "pneuma Female Choir."
Her works have been published so far: "Shishi no Uta" from Kawai Publishing, "Ave Maria" "UPOPO" "Hototogisu" "Budoo no ki (Vine Tree)" "Chie no Izumi (Fountain of Wisdom)" , and arranged works "Sakura Yokocho" "Kono Michi" "Veni, veni Emmanuel" from Surasol, Finland. Also, "Higuchi Ichiyo Diary-Write and Live" is published by Miela harmonija.
Since 2020 she has been studying warm-up methods for chorus.
