Mai Oishi

She first attended the Music High School of the Kunitachi College of Music, where she subsequently continued her instrumental studies with a major in piano.
In 2006, she moved on to the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna, where she began her concert piano studies. Just one year later, she was admitted to the master’s program, which she completed with distinction in 2011. She then broadened her training in instrumental accompaniment (song and chamber music coaching), working closely with the renowned chamber musician and répétiteur D. Benda.

At the same time, she studied piano pedagogy at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. As a sought-after répétiteur, she participated in masterclasses in Vienna and at the Vienna Conservatory, collaborating with artists such as F. Bartolomey, former principal cellist of the Vienna Philharmonic.
Her pianistic training was shaped by teachers including Megumi Ariga, Iku Miwa, J. G. Iráček, J. Kropfitsch, and T. Obens. In chamber music and accompaniment, she was strongly influenced by D. Benda and E. Sinaisky.

She is currently active as a pedagogue and répétiteur at the Vienna music school Klangwerk, where she is dedicated to fostering young talent. Concert tours regularly take her across Europe as a soloist and chamber musician.

From 2023 to 2025, she also served as répétiteur for the conducting class at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz.
At the 19th Euterpe International Music Competition, she was unanimously awarded the 1st Prize and the Audience Prize in the chamber music category. She likewise won the unanimous 1st Prize in the same category at the 16th Don Vincenzo Vitti International Music Competition.

Additionally, she received the 1st Prize in the chamber music category at the Vienna Danubia Talents International Music Competition in September 2018.
