ABOUT

Yusei Hata (b.2002) is a New York City based Japanese composer. His music takes care into vividly painting musical and/or extra-musical images and scenarios, conveying a wide array of different emotions, moods, and tones. Consequently, outside of music, he has interests in his Japanese heritage, the different cultures of the world, and history.

Yusei's works have been performed by numerous people and organizations such as the New York Philharmonic, Chamber Project St. Louis, Contemporaneous, Metropolis Ensemble,  Masayo Ishigure, and Face the Music, throughout New York City and the United States, including at David Geffen Hall, Roulette Intermedium, National Sawdust, National Opera Center, Merkin Concert Hall, Curtis Institute of Music, and the Juilliard School, where he currently studies Music Composition as an undergraduate. 

​

In addition to being a composer, Yusei is a pianist, violinist, and french hornist, and is always excited to play music with other people.
