Miwa Steuben, Mayumi Fugami, and Aidan Kando tend the flames of Japanese classical music and preserve the traditional arts of koto, shamisen, and shakuhachi by introducing them to audiences along the Colorado Rocky Mountains and beyond. They present music ranging from ancient to modern and sublime to profound.
Miwa and Mayumi are licensed on the koto, shamisen, and classical voice by master Hiraoka Yoko. Kando is licensed by Kurahashi Yodo II, head of the Mujuan shakuhachi lineage in Kyoto.
Together, their performances together offer a glimpse into the incredible depth of Japanese musical aesthetics, and reveal fundamental principles of beauty that transcend times and cultures.
