As a highly acclaimed concert organist, Kei Koito is regularly invited to perform as a soloist at the most distinguished festivals and concert venues throughout Europe, Asia, and North and South America.

Her vast performance experience includes playing with the Baroque Orchestra Musica Antiqua Köln (dir. Reinhard Goebel) for J.S. Bach’s Cantatas, Organ Sinfonias and Händel’s Organ Concertos, and the Vocal Ensemble Gilles Binchois (dir. Dominique Vellard) for the Italian Renaissance / Baroque and the French classical / pre-classical repertoires. She has also performed Concertos by Haydn and Rheinberger with Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, and the Concerto for Organ by Francis Poulenc with Orchestre de la Suisse Romande.

Poetry and colour… the sum of her explorations results in a very seductive interpretation.
