Yuko Uébayashi is a composer who was born in Japan and presently resides in France. She moved to Paris in 1998 and through her encounters with musicians and artists found inspiration for the music she wrote for the next 20 years. Her music has been described as “Debussy and Ravel meet in Nippon” and soloist Jean Ferrandis characterized Uebayashi’s works as “gems that, although they are so different, they yet belong to the same world, a world of vivacity, dreams, tenderness, and humour”. The first movement of her “Sonate”for flute and piano, which she dedicated to flutist Jean Ferrandis and pianist Emile Naumoff, is likely the most famously representative of her unique style. On its premiere it was referred to as “Piéce” which later became the full 4 movement sonata.

During this unprecedented time following the 2020 French quarantine Thomaz Tavares and Suejin Jung (19/20 Woolley Scholars) have the chance to put together a video recording of this first movement as well as present a masterclass video recording with international soloist Jean Ferrandis, for whom the sonata was originally written, exploring the tender and magical world of Yuko Uebayashi’s music.
