Profile
【 Japanese music quartet 】
A quartet formed in the spring of 2011 by four graduates of the Japanese music department of Tokyo University of the Arts (Soh, sangen (three-stringed instrument), and 17 stringed instrument: Noriko HIRATA, Yuko TERAI, and Hiroyasu NAKAJIMA, and shakuhachi: Suzumon KURODA). Based on the concept of "creating music of the present and the future with traditional Japanese instruments," he is developing activities from three perspectives: "commissioning new works to composers = joint activities with composers to explore hogaku of the present and the future," "revisiting masterpieces of contemporary hogaku composed since the 1960s," and "traditional sankyoku gasso (classical ensemble of sangen, koto, and shakuhachi)" which is the basis of these activities.
