About Saoko Blendis
Artist Biography
Pianist Saoko Blendis often appears as an accompanist to her husband, violinist Simon Blendis, as well as other musicians. She is an important presence on the music-educational scene in Britain, where she moved for studies in 1998. In 2019, the Blendises acquired the personal music library of Max Jaffa (1911-1991), a British light orchestra violinist who led BBC radio's Palm Court Orchestra for decades. In 2022, they released Love Is Like a Violin: Salon Treasures from the Max Jaffa Library, including 25 works that, in many cases, had never been recorded. The album was Saoko's debut recording.
