Selections
Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame
featuring Yumi Suehiro (2025)

Vox Novus is proud to announce the selected composers for the 2025 edition
of Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame featuring pianist Yumi Suehiro, to be presented
in November 2025 at the Ellington Room in New York City.

Born in Osaka, Japan, Yumi Suehiro began piano studies at age six and
marimba at seven. She is the youngest winner of the Kobe International
Competition, and has since built an extraordinary international career. A
graduate of Lehman College (CUNY) and the Manhattan School of Music,
Suehiro has appeared at major festivals such as June in Buffalo,
Darmstädter Ferienkurse, and Sound of Stockholm, and is a core member of
Ensemble Mise-en. Her most recent album, Hans Thomalla: Complete Works for
Solo Piano, is available on Sideband Records.

For this special set, fifteen composers have each created a one-minute work
written especially for Yumi Suehiro, exploring the full expressive range of
the piano—from fragile introspection to bold, kinetic brilliance.

artistry. Each piece is one minute long—fifteen composers, fifteen minutes
of music.
