Description

An inventive, seemingly cosmopolitan composer mesmerizing audiences on the 20-string koto. An award-winning koto star from a young age, Yumi Kurosawa is one of today's most exciting soloists on Japan's national instrument. Her solo repertoire includes classical Japanese compositions, as well as her own innovative and enchanting original works. Yumi has played on such stages as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, the Apollo Theater, and the Blue Note. Kurosawa has been a principal soloist with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra of the Swan in the UK, and the Houston Grand Opera, and in 2015, she was commissioned to write an original score for the Houston Ballet. "Yumi Kurosawa was mesmerizing on the 20-string koto." - Zachary Woolfe, The New York Times. "The koto's notes flow like the water of a stream in a zen garden, building melodic paths in a logic that resembles European medieval and Renaissance music." - All About Jazz FAQs What can I bring inside Goddard Auditorium, Carpenter Hall?
