Yumi Kurosawa was born and raised in a traditional Japanese music environment, taking up the Koto from a young age and rising quickly to the upper echelons of her craft. Ever since she was a teenager, however, she has surrounded herself with contemporary music by Western composers, integrating their melodies and phrasings into her solo Koto performances.

Yumi is joined by violinist Naho Parrini and percussionist Yousif Sheronick. Their 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 form allows Yumi to expand her solo compositions into dynamic and multi-faceted performances that encompass a wide range of expressions and dimensions.
