Yuki Hirano was born in 2004 and grew up in Sapporo, the capital of Japan’s northern island. She began playing the violin at the age of five. In 2025, she won First Prize at the 7th Jascha Heifetz International Violin Competition in Lithuania. She also won First Prize at the Vienna Classic Violin Competition, which led to her performance in the Grand Final in Dubai, where she earned multiple distinctions and performed with several orchestras. Yuki has appeared as a soloist with orchestras such as the Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra, Gunma Symphony Orchestra, Armenian State Symphony Orchestra, Madrid Philharmonic Orchestra, Transylvania State Philharmonic Orchestra and Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra. She plays a 1764 Nicolò Gagliano violin, generously loaned to her through the cultural project “Tora ni Tsubasa”.
