Fuminori Tanada was born in 1961 in Okayama, Japan and studied at the National University of Art and Music in Tokyo as well as at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris. He resides in Paris and divides his time between performing as a pianist and composing.
Since 1990 he has been the pianist of the Itinéraire ensemble for new music, for which he also composes. He has also been the official pianist of the flute class at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris since 1991, where he has served as professor of chamber music since 2014.
Most of Tanada’s compositions have been published by Éditions Henry Lemoine, Éditions IMD, and Éditions Gérard Billaudot. His works are performed all over the world. In 2015, for example, his F for flute solo, released by GENUIN classics, was a compulsory piece at the ARD International Music Competition.
