Welcome to the home page of an Auckland-based pianist and composer who performed and teached both Classical Music and Jazz from New Zealand.
Fumie was a talented, hard-working mother and wife, loved dearly by her family, friends, colleagues and students.
Sadly, On Monday 4th, October 2021, she passed away peacefully after a long and hard battle with cancer, which had already took away her right leg. Fumie.S.Kiuchi had her last online lesson and in-person lesson with her daughter on Sunday, the day before she went to Heaven. She held on until the end, and then she finally won her freedom.
In memory of her, we are arranging a memorial service for Fumie as of below.
Tuesday, 12th of October, 2pm, St Andrew’s First Presbyterian Church

Unfortunately, in this covid pandemic, we are sadly still in Level 3, so only 10 guests will be allowed to gather. But since there are so many people that knew and loved Fumie, we are thinking of inviting all of you online.
It will be live streamed on Youtube, so everyone is more than welcome to attend. We will go live at around 2 pm(Nz time).

Also, a family friend and fellow co-worker Lilia Carpinelli has kindly put together a fundraising page for financial support, funeral expences and Saye’s education. We would like to share it with you all and we thank you for all the heart felt support you have gave us.
