Yumi Kurosawa Trio - Backstage Series

Yumi Kurosawa was born and raised in a traditional Japanese music environment, taking up the Koto from a young age and rising fast to the upper echelons of her craft. Ever since she was a teenager, however, she constantly surrounded herself with contemporary music by Western music composers, integrating their melodies and phrasings into her solo Koto. As her career expanded, she carried these interests into ensembles featuring Western musical instruments, especially strings.
​​​​​​​
For this trio, Yumi is joined by violinist Naho Parrini and percussionist Yousif Sheronick. The program features exhilarating new compositions from Yumi alongside striking reinterpretations of favorites from her oeuvre, highlighting the shared affinity between these seemingly disparate instruments. The trio setting allows Yumi to expand her solo compositions into dynamic and multi-faceted performances that encompass a wide range of expression and dimension.

See this incredible trio in our unique Backstage Series in which the audience is seated on stage with the artists!
