I just had my last performance of the season at Berkshire Opera Festival as well as at Bargemusic’s Here and Now Labor Day Festival. I would like to thank everyone who came to these concerts!

New York Classical Review wrote a nice review about last night’s performance of Daron Hagen’s “Cantabile” at Bargemusic.
“Played with precision and deep feeling by the duo—cellist Hikaru Tamaki and koto player Yoko Reikano Kimura—the piece was a gripping, gorgeous narrative of the life of a woman in 12th-century Japan. Full of idiomatic flavor, it made compelling use of the techniques of the Western classical tradition, especially polyphony and formal design. Most impressive was how the music told a clear, succinct, and unsentimental story using vocal sounds without texts.”
We just performed at Bargemusic today. We will have another show on Sep 3 (Sat) at 8 pm, so stop by if you are able.
(Our performance date at Bargemusic is changed to September 3. We will NOT be performing on September 4. We are sorry for causing any inconvenience but will do our best at the Sep 3 performance!!)
I’m very honored to be part of the Berkshire Opera Festival’s inaugural season! We just had our opening night on Aug 27 with the performance of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. There will be two more performances on Aug 30 and Sep 2 at the Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield, MA.
The concert was very intimate, and we enjoyed sharing our music for the first time in Stonington, ME. Thank you!!
Our duo recital in Stonington, ME is coming soon! We are very excited to present our concert in this lovely coastal town.
