Profile
[Japanese music quartet]
A quartet formed in the spring of 2011 by four graduates of the Japanese music department at Tokyo University of the Arts.
Based on the concept of "creating music of the present and the future with traditional Japanese instruments," he has developed activities from three perspectives: "commissioning new works to composers = joint activities with composers to explore Japanese music of the present and the future," "revisiting masterpieces of contemporary Japanese music composed since the 1960s," and "traditional sankyoku gasso (classical ensemble of sangen, koto, and shakuhachi)," which is the basis of these activities, and his performances have been highly praised both in Japan and abroad.
