Shio Okui has studied with Elena Ashkenazy since she was 7, and is currently a scholar of the Vladimir Spivakov International Charity Foundation. She made her orchestral debut at age 8, and at 12 she performed with the internationally renowned conductor Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra in Vladivostok, on the Maestro’s invitation. Since she was 10, she has performed numerous times with leading Russian conductor and violinist Vladimir Spivakov. As a soloist Okui has appeared with the State Academic Symphony Orchestra “Evgeny Svetlanov,” National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia, Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, Moscow Virtuosi, Governor’s Irkutsk Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, National Philharmonic of Ukraine, Manchester Camerata, Armenian National Philharmonic Orchestra, Sinfonietta Riga, Astana Philharmonic Orchestra and Toruń Symphony Orchestra. She has performed in many concert halls, including the Bolshoi Theatre, Tchaikovsky Concert Hall, Great Hall and Rachmaninov Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, Primorsky Stage of the Mariinsky Theatre, Moscow International House of Music, Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, National Opera House of Ukraine, Hall of Columns of the National Philharmonic of Ukraine, Astana Opera House, and Kioi Hall. Plans for the 2016/2017 season include a performance with Vladimir Fedoseyev and the Ural Philharmonic, a repeat performance at the “Stars on Baikal” festival in Irkutsk in September, and a concert at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris in December.
The Russian National Orchestra was founded in 1990 by pianist and conductor Mikhail Pletnev. Of its debut at the BBC Proms in London, the Evening Standard wrote, "They played with such captivating beauty that the audience gave an involuntary sigh of pleasure." The RNO has been described as "a living symbol of the best in Russian art" (Miami Herald) and "as close to perfect as one could hope for" (Trinity Mirror). The RNO is unique among the principal Russian ensembles as an institution funded with the support of individuals, corporations and foundations in Russia and throughout the world.
