“Associate Conductor Akiko Fujimoto led the [San Antonio Symphony] in perfection...”

                                                                                        David Hendricks, San Antonio Express-News

“New Assistant Conductor Akiko Fujimoto was splendid in her subscription debut.”

                                                                                        David Hendricks, San Antonio Express-News

“She is quite a precise conductor, giving the players [of the Virginia Symphony] clear instruction that results in energetic, rhythmic performance.  This was a particularly valuable skill in Behzad Ranjbaran’s Concerto for Violin, Viola and Orchestra.”

                                                                      Lee Teply, Virginian Pilot

“Her clean, concise conducting and thoughtful interpretations found the [William & Mary Symphony] Orchestra on top of its game.  Fujimoto doesn’t water down musical approach or demand.”
