Uchida’s past recital partners have included Jennifer Koh, Anne Akiko Meyers, Sharon Robinson, Jaime Laredo and David Shifrin. She has collaborated with the Borromeo and Tokyo String Quartets, and is a member of the Laurel Trio and the Moebius Ensemble. She is an associate faculty member at Columbia University.

Meglioranza has won a variety of competitions including the 2005 Walter W. Naumburg Competition and the Franz Schubert/Modern Music Competition in Graz, Austria. This “immaculate and inventive recitalist” (The New Yorker) works in styles ranging from pre-baroque to opera and classical to contemporary.

Two of Meglioranza’s highly acclaimed performances were his evening of World War One-era songs at the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society and his portrayal of Prior Walter in the North American premiere of Peter Eötvös’ “Angels in America” with Opera Boston. The former was on the Philadelphia Inquirer’s “Top Ten Classical Music Events of 2009.”
