Satoko Doi-Luck
Satoko Doi-Luck takes pleasure in a diverse career as a keyboard player, a composer, and a director. Satoko regularly gives solo recitals as well as enjoys playing with orchestras, and has performed with English Touring Opera, Birmingham Opera Company, La Serenissima, the Shakespeare's Globe and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, with whom she has performed Bach’s Harpsichord Concerto on tour with Rachel Podger. In July 2022, she directed Hasse’s opera Antonio e Cleopatra from the keyboard at the Buxton Festival.
As a keen chamber musician, Satoko is a founding member of Ensemble Molière and Ceruleo. Ensemble Molière has been selected as the first-ever Radio 3 New Generation Baroque Ensemble for two years from October 2021, in partnership with BBC Radio 3, the National Centre for Early Music and the Royal College of Music. The ensemble was also a finalist in the York International Young Artists Competition 2017, and has been performing throughout Europe and in the UK. They are especially passionate about bringing French baroque repertoire to wider audiences in the UK. With Ceruleo, she has been touring Burying the Dead - an original concert-play about the life and music of Henry Purcell - to various festivals in the UK including Buxton, Lake District and Ryedale.
As a composer, her pieces for string quartet were performed by the players of the OAE at their Nightshift tour. During the pandemic, she had a commission from ORA Singers for their Emergency Composers' Fund, in collaboration with Tate Modern.
