A graduate of Harvard College, where she earned a joint honors degree in English Literature and Music, Miki was awarded the George Peabody Gardner fellowship upon graduation, which granted her the opportunity to study in Vienna, Austria with Philharmonic Concertmaster Rainer Küchl. Miki recently completed her master’s studies with Ani Kavafian at the Yale School of Music, where she won first prize in the Concerto Competition and served as a concertmaster of the Yale Philharmonia. She is currently a doctoral candidate under Miriam Fried at the New England Conservatory of Music.
