Biography

Shuichi Umeyama is assistant professor of music and an opera coach at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music.

A sought-out collaborator by internationally prominent vocalists, pianist Umeyama is a highly seasoned concert performer. Equally at ease as a soloist and accompanist, he commands a vast repertoire in both vocal and instrumental literature. He has performed piano concertos by Brahms, Beethoven, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff, among others, and his recitals have been broadcast on Japan National Broadcasting (NHK). 

In the United States, Umeyama has served as a coach or an accompanist for San Francisco Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Santa Fe Opera, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, Opera North, Indianapolis Opera, and others. He has been an official accompanist for the Metropolitan Opera National Laffont Competition for over 30 years. 

As a musical coach, he has participated in numerous operatic world premieres, including Our Town (Rorem), Jeppe (Sandstrom), Vincent (Rands), The Tale of Lady Thi Kính, What the Horse Eats (Phan), Anne Frank (Ran), Tevye’s Daughters (Weiser), and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay (Bates).

In 2017, Umeyama taught voice students at Aichi University of the Arts in Japan as a resident artist.
