Miho Nitta, pianist and composer, received her training at the prestigious "Elisabeth University of Music" in Hiroshima, Japan. In 1989, she completed her musical studies as valedictorian, and was awarded excellence prizes in: piano, composition, and chamber music.

Graduated from her academic studies, her talent led her to a promising career as a young soloist. On the initiative of the major Japanese daily newspaper ASAHI, she was immediately invited on several international tours as soloist with the Hiroshima Symphony Orchestra. She then moved towards an international career.

Out of love for French music, she moved to Paris in 1989 to perfect her musical art. Only one year later, she obtained the Diplôme Supérieur in piano unanimously awarded by the jury at the École Normale de Musique de Paris. Mr. Pierre Petit, director of the École Normale de Musique de Paris, was so impressed by her talent and interpretations that he spontaneously decided to organize a series of concerts for her, including a recital in Poitiers. Miho Nitta also won 1st prize in chamber music at the Conservatoire National de Région de Boulogne-Billancourt, as well as the Diplôme Supérieur de Concertiste from Schola Cantorum. Since 1999, she has regularly given Chopin recitals at Eglise Saint-Julien le Pauvre (Paris).

In 1990, she was also a laureate of the international piano competition "Les Grands Maîtres Français", receiving her prize at Salle Gaveau. Since then, she has pursued a particularly active career as a soloist and chamber musician. She continues to win numerous awards: International Competition of Paris "guilde française" Janine Prize in 1991, Pierre Lantier International Interpretation Competition in 1995. She is a laureate of the "Citta di Senigallia" International Competition in Italy in 1996. That same year she also won the Val de Seine Chamber Music Competition, with congratulations from the jury. Miho Nitta is also a laureate of the CZIFFRA Foundation, for which she gives concerts every year. After winning numerous awards and distinctions, she now performs as a soloist in France and abroad. On the Parisian stage, she recently performed a recital at Salle Gaveau.

The discographic output of Miho Nitta currently includes 3 compact-discs. An artist of classical music and piano in the broadest sense, she is the composer of varied works, notably pieces inspired by Japanese traditional folk music. Her creative artistic spectrum offers musical moments of exceptional and rare listening.
