Since her debut with the SAR Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra in 2007, Minagawa has won top prizes in multiple international competitions including the New York International Piano Competition, Seattle International Piano Competition, and the Jacob Flier International Piano Competition. As a full-scholarship recipient, Minagawa holds degrees from the University of Michigan, Peabody Institute, and Shenandoah University. Her prodigious teachers include Robert Roux, Logan Skelton, Boris Slutsky, and John O’Conor.

In the 2023-2024 season, Mimi is planning to participate in the Shenzhen Piano Concerto Competition in November. She also anticipates graduating from Shenandoah University in May, with the Doctor of Musical Arts in Piano Performance.
