Yume Tomita

Yume Tomita is a Japanese violinist and Grand Prize winner of the Il Piccolo Violino Magico International Competition (2021). Most recently, she was awarded 3rd Prize at the Hengqin International Mozart Competition (2025), adding to an impressive list of international distinctions, including 1st Prize at the Ilona Fehér International Violin Competition (2019), 2nd Prize at the Andrea Postacchini International Violin Competition (2019), and 3rd Prize at the Grumiaux International Violin Competition (2018).

She began playing the violin at the age of five and gave her first recital in Italy at seven. Shortly thereafter, she was awarded a place at the Yehudi Menuhin School, where she has studied with Natasha Boyarsky, Ning Kam, and currently with Dr. Robin Wilson.

Yume made her concerto debut in 2019 with the Anima Musicae Chamber Orchestra in Budapest. Since then, she has appeared at leading festivals and venues across Europe, including Cremona Mondomusica, Klassiek Leeft and Festival Academy Budapest, and has performed concertos with orchestras such as the Accademia d’Archi Arrigoni, Marlborough Concert Orchestra, Wimbledon Symphony Orchestra, and National Symphony Orchestra.

An enthusiastic chamber musician, Yume is a founding member of the all-violin ensemble QUADPHONICS, which recently completed its triumphant 2nd tour of Japan. Her recordings include Sarasate’s Navarra with her sister, Coco Tomita, and she also appears on Coco Tomita’s Orchid Classics album.
