Time spent with Seiji Ozawa underlines the importance of what Yamada calls his \u201cJapanese feeling\u201d for music. Born in Kanagawa, Japan, he continues to work and perform in Japan every season with NHK Symphony Orchestra and Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra.<\/p>\n

He has recently returned from the CBSO tour to Japan and in March 2026 they embark on another European tour. Following his recent debut with the Berlin Philharmoniker he makes debut appearances with the Bamberger Symphoniker, NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Rotterdam Philharmonic and Wiener Symphoniker. He continues regular guesting commitments with Orchestra dell\u2019Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse and Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra to name only a few.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yamada performs with soloists such as Emanuel Ax, Leif Ove Andsnes, Seong-Jin Cho, Isabelle Faust, Martin Helmchen, Nobuko Imai, Lucas and Arthur Jussen, Alexander Kantorow, Evgeny Kissin, Faz\u0131l Say, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Krystian Zimerman and Frank Peter Zimmermann.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Strongly committed to his role as an educator, Yamada appears annually as a guest artist at the Seiji Ozawa International Academy Switzerland and is strongly committed to the outreach programme at CBSO. Yamada studied music at the Tokyo University of the Arts and first achieved international attention upon receiving first prize in the 51st Besan\u00e7on International Competition for young conductors in 2009.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
