SUMMARY:Japan ♥️ Korea Songs for Peace Concert
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) in association with Mar Creation and Noontan Music invite you to Japan ♥️ Korea Songs for Peace\, an evening of mostly acoustic music by the always warm and engaging Rino (vocals and sanshin\, Japan)\, Lucite Tokki (synth-pop duo\, Korea)\, and Asuca Hayashi (J-pop and R&B star\, Japan\, with a big voice like Celine Dion) backed by keyboard wizard Romi Abe of Sony Records. \nThe concert will take place on Friday\, June 7\, 2019 at 7:30 pm at CRS. Tickets are $20 and are available online\, by phone (212-677-8621)\, and at CRS. \nBorn and raised in Osaka\, Japan\, Asuca Hayashi became a performer after her piano teacher sent a tape of her singing to a music producer. Impressed with Hayashi’s talent\, a representative of Toshiba EMI’s Southeast Asia Division released her debut single “ake-kaze” when she was just 13 years old. Her debut album\, called “Saku” (咲)\, was released on the same day in Japan\, Taiwan\, Hong Kong and Mainland China. She has gained fans throughout Japan\, Hong Kong\, Taiwan\, and the United States. Her hit song\, titled “Chiisaki Mono” or “Make a Wish” (English Version)\, was used in the sixth Pokémon movie\, “ Wishmaker” (Japanese: Nanayo no Negai Boshi; literally “Wishing Star of Seven Nights”). In June 2012\, she made her acting debut in “Hakurai Joto. Doudekka\,” a stage play created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Yoshimoto Kogyo\, one of Japan’s most popular entertainment productions. In March 2013\, she appeared in another play titled\, “Korekara mo Yoroshiku\,” also produced by Yoshimoto Kogyo. In July 2017\, she recorded and released a new single\, “Pokemon ni Kimeta!\,” the ending theme for the latest Pokemon movie. Asuca’s other notable songs include “Hitotsubu no Tane Love the Earth”\, “Snowdrop”\, “Jibun Shinjite” and “Mou Ichido Anata ni Aitai.” Hayashi has since recorded in both Japanese and Chinese\, collaborating with Chinese instrumentalist Chen Min on the single\, “Tsubane ni Naritai.” \nLucite Tokki is a New York-based alt-pop duo formed in Seoul 2005. Over a decade later\, they have released four full albums and six EPs growing their audience worldwide. Their cheerful melodies\, smooth synth-based textures\, and warm vocals are the perfect pick-me-up for a rainy day. In this show\, they’ll treat us to a rare acoustic performance! https://lucite-tokki.org \nRino (vocals and sanshin) is a performer of drama and music\, particularly for peace. She learned drama at the United Performer’s Studio\, led by Yoko Narahashi\, and studied traditional folk songs from Ryushu Kubota of Japan Folk Song Association. \nBelow\, see Asuca singing her hit song “Make a Wish” with our miracle child\, Amara-chan\, daughter of our Sufi Dance Instructor Lale Sayoko\, with accompaniment by CRS Healer Takako Hatanaka:

SUMMARY:Crossing Boundaries Concert 5: Korean Traditional Music & Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents CROSSING BOUNDARIES Concert Series Vol. 5:  ROSE OF SHARON\, curated by gamin. “Rose of Sharon” is the national flower of Korea and so represents the people’s identity. This performance employs both Korean traditional music (Yeonsanheosang\, one of the most representative Korean traditional court music compositions) and contemporary art (mandala paintings) inspired by Buddhism. \n김희정 작가의 만다라 회화와 함께 뉴욕 최고의 전통 음악인 세 명이 선보이는 시대를 초월한 한국 전통음악(대표적인 한국 궁정 음악 작품의 하나인 영산회상)으로 구성된 불교의 감성이 충만한 프로그램을 만끽하세요. \n  musicians:  gamin (piri and saenghwang\, Korea)\n                       Minkyung Park (haegeum\, Korea)\n                       Sangmi Kang (gayageum\, Korea)\nvisual artist:  Heejung Kim (Korea) \nThis is the second of eight concerts in the series during 2019 and will take place on May 31\, 2019 at 8:30 pm at CRS. An Opening Reception and Gallery Talk with artist Heejung Kim will take place before the show at 7:30 pm. \nTickets are $25 in advance $30 at the door. Students and seniors with valid ID can purchase tickets for $20 at the door. Tickets are available online at crsny.org\, by phone (212-677-8621)\, and at CRS. \nNow in its second year\, CROSSING BOUNDARIES is a performance series devoted to creating unforgettable live art experiences that dissolve boundaries between performers and audiences\, traditional and new music\, and the local and the global\, bringing people together and promoting the awareness that we each possess a limitless creativity inside us.  \nCRS has from its inception in 2004 attracted many people from abroad\, and has become known for presenting healing\, arts\, and cultural programs from around the world and from Asia in particular. This season\, which is supported by a grant from the LMCC\, is curated by three outstanding artists of Asian descent:  gamin\, Jen Shyu\, and JunYi Chow. There is a long tradition of interdisciplinarity in Asian arts\, where ritual practices have always involved elements of dance\, theatre\, improvised music\, and storytelling\, and this season will build on that tradition. \nLearn about the 2019 Season Curators \nView the 2019 Season Announcement \nKOREAN ART AND MUSIC \n“Music is what dwells in a person from heaven\,\nwhat constitutes nature from emptiness\,\nwhat moves one’s mind\, circulates one’s blood\, beats one’s pulse\,\nand flows one’s spirit.”\n—  Source:  extract from the preface of Ak Hak Gwe Beom* \n*Ak Hak Gwe Beom is a treatise on music\, written in Korea in the 15thcentury\, which includes detailed descriptions and fingerings of most of the musical instruments used during that period. \nABOUT THE PROGRAM \nOriginally a vocal piece with lyrics drawing on Buddhist scripture\, the Yeongsanhoesang suite became purely instrumental in the 15th century. Yeongsanhoesang has undergone continuous change with the current version taking form sometime in the 19th century. There are many versions of the suite\, which typically includes 8-9 pieces. While the genesis of the suite is not completely certain\, the first piece of the suite\, “Sangryeongsan” appears to be the foundation piece for the suite. The following pieces in the suite include variations on “Sangryeongsan\,” as well as standard musical forms and dance pieces of the Joseon era (1392-1910). \nABOUT THE PERFORMERS \ngamin is a traditional Korean musician\, trained in jeongak-the classical music of the court and sinawi-the collaborative improvisation that accompanies Korean shamanic ritual. Since leaving orchestral work behind eight years ago\, gamin has taken these skills in unexpected directions\, using her piri and taepyeongso (Korean oboes)\, and saengwhang (mouth organ) to pursue contemporary sounds and reach new audiences.\ngamin-music.com \nSangmi Kang is an Assistant Professor of Music Education at the Westminster Choir College of Rider University. As a professional performer on the gayageum (a traditional Korean stringed instrument)\, Dr. Kang has performed at several institutions\, among them the University of Florida\, Duke University\, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.\nsangmikang.weebly.com/ \nHaegeum instrumentalist Minkyung Park is a recipient of 67th Chosun Daily Debut Concert and selected as 2006 Kumho Young Artist by Kumho Asiana Foundation for Arts and Culture who has discovered and supported nationally talented instrumentalists. She has performed at many prestigious venues internationally including ‘tea music – longing for friends’ in NYC\, combining art performance with harmonization of various genre of music and arts.\nparkminkyung.com \nABOUT THE ART EXHIBITION \nHeejung Kim will feature her recent ink works on paper together with her selected artist books created within the last 20 years. Her art is influenced by Tibetan Mandala paintings\, especially by the patterns and symbols found in them. Her star-like images come from actual dreams she has had since her childhood. Using repetition like the mantras in meditation\, Heejung pushes her creative visions into a hypnotic space carrying the viewer into a surreal sense of illusion and the feeling of moving through a vast void. \nAbout Artist Heejung Kim   \nHeejung Kim produces both 2-D and 3-D artworks and the themes of her artworks stemmed from Buddhism\, her dream images\, and her own experiences. Kim had numerous exhibitions nationally and the reviews on her art works include “The New York Times” and “The Star-Ledger”. Kim obtained an MA in Art Education from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and her MFA from SUNY at Stony Brook. She currently teaches at the Raritan Valley Community College.\nheejungkim.weebly.com/ \nThe 2019 season of CROSSING BOUNDARIES is made possible in part with public funds from Creative Engagement\, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and administered by LMCC. LMCC empowers artists by providing them with networks\, resources\, and support\, to create vibrant\, sustainable communities in Manhattan and beyond. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Freedom of the Mind Concert & Talk with Vocalist Neda Boin & Inspirational Speaker Jeffrey Cosker
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) welcomes back our beloved friend the award-winning singer-songwriter and voice liberation practitioner Neda Boin and inspirational speaker Jeffrey Cosker for the last event of their Freedom of the Mind Tour! Join us for an evening full of miracle stories\, questions & answers\, inspired music\, and voice liberation. \n“Do you want to have freedom of the body or of the mind? For both you cannot have.” \nMany of you will know Neda from our recent Living in the Light Course in Miracles weekend. For those of you who don’t\, she is a singer songwriter from The Netherlands. Her recently released record “The Light Has Come\,” was named Best Album of the Year at the Rotterdam Music Awards. Amazingly\, Neda\, a student of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) for 8+ years\, channeled all the songs on the album in just two weeks\, all inspired from ACIM Workbook lessons\, making it the first album inspired by ACIM to win album of the year. Profoundly spiritual in nature\, the songs are deeply satisfying as songs\, with beautiful and irresistible music colored with soul\, jazz and world music inflections\, brought to soaring life by Neda’s angelic voice. \n“Neda’s music is a way to merge with the Spirit and feel the absolute glory of Divine Love. Her amazing voice enhances the lyrics from Heaven\, and my soul is lifted every time I listen.” — David Hoffmeister\, author of Unwind Your Mind Back to God \nJeffrey lived the life of “having it all” and still felt like the world couldn’t give him what he needed. After a revelatory experience as a result of a moment of surrender in the program of recovery he found the Course in Miracles and completely turned his life over to following the direction of Spirit. He is now living a life devoted to forgiveness. His experiences in life\, lightheartedness\, and total commitment to Awakening allow people from all different backgrounds to experience a safety to open up with him. With a deep passion for mind training\, strong focus\, and determination to see things differently\, Jeffrey is a beautiful demonstration of the transformation that happens when you turn your life over to a higher purpose. \nThese two mighty companions came together to join for a beautiful tour\, with the intention of finding freedom within themselves instead of in the world. Join them for an evening never to forget! \nTickets are available online\, by phone (212-677-8621)\, and at CRS. Concert tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door ($20 at the door for students/seniors with valid ID). \n\nNeda also developed a way to use the voice to facilitate the forgiveness practice that the Course teaches in a very deep way. It’s a unique way to use your voice to instantly go to the wound\, express it through sound and then release it in a very liberating way. You can learn more about Neda Boin on her web site at nedaboin.com. \nVoice Liberation Testimonials:\n“We laughed together\, we cried together\, we sang together\, and we prayed together. I truly felt that each member of the workshop was my spiritual brother and sister and I felt enveloped in oneness with a loving God. If you are tired of reading books about spirituality\, come to this workshop and get a taste of the real thing.” – Elisabeth \n“I would like to write my testimonial\, but I just cry and cry and cry when I think about it. Tears of gratitude.” – Laura \n“I experienced what seemed like a true heart opening where it actually felt like my heart cracked open and many tears flowed. I don’t have words for this experience except that it felt like a profound healing.” – Marti

SUMMARY:Crossing Boundaries Concert Series Vol. 4: FOUR SYSTEMS
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents Crossing Boundaries Concert Series Vol. 4:  Four Systems\, curated by JunYi Chow. Four daring improvisers and acclaimed performers of traditional music from different cultures  — Chatori Shimizu (Shō\, Japan)\, gamin (Piri and Saenghwang\, Korea)\, JunYi Chow (Cello\, Malaysia)\, and Yunzhuo Gan (Yangqin\, China) — invite mayhem and unlock surprising congruities by improvising over four compositions inspired by their respective cultures\, stitched together through an imaginative graphic notation using visual symbols of their own choosing. \nThis graphic notation will be projected behind the performers\, so the audience can connect visually with the the music and imagine their own choices\, allowing everyone within the space — composer\, performer\, and audience — to participate in the process of creating connection and meaning through play. A conversation with the artists will take place following the concert. \nThis is the first of eight concerts in the series during 2019 and will take place on May 10\, 2019 at 8 pm at CRS. \nTickets are $25 in advance $30 at the door. Students and seniors with valid ID can purchase tickets for $20 at the door. Tickets are available online at crsny.org\, by phone (212-677-8621)\, and at CRS. \nABOUT THE PERFORMERS \nChatori Shimizu (b. 1990) is a Germany based composer\, shō performer\, and sound artist\, who constructs his works for a wide range of mediums concerning the time identity in sound. Ranging from orchestral works to sound installations\, all of his works engage in repetitive patterns of sound motifs\, which aims for the slightest change in the pattern to act as an accent. As the First Prize Winner of the 2016 Malta International Composition Competition\, Shimizu’s works have been performed and exhibited throughout Australia\, Canada\, China\, France\, Germany\, Japan\, South Korea\, the Netherlands\, Poland\, Serbia\, Thailand\, United Kingdom\, and the United States\, by acclaimed ensembles and musicians such as Hidejiro Honjoh\, Ensemble Multilatérale\, Mayumi Miyata\, mise-en\, Mivos Quartet\, Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra\, Sound Factory Orchestra\, among others. Shimizu has been awarded fellowships from Columbia University School of the Arts\, Institute of Medieval Japanese Studies\, the Mitsubishi Foundation\, Omi International Arts Center\, Soundstreams\, Toshiba Foundation\, and Yaddo.

One of the most celebrated piri and taepyeongso (Korean oboes)\, and saengwhang (mouth organ) performers in Korea\, she now pursues many interdisciplinary projects in collaboration with international artists. From 2000 to 2010\, she was a member of the Contemporary Gukak Orchestra at the National Gukak Center\, the hub for training and preserving Korean traditional music. Currently\, as a yisuja* of the Important Intangible Cultural Asset No. 46 for piri and Daechita\, she tries to preserve traditional music\, and enhances the tradition as well. *yisuja is a title designated to someone who mastered a course study of intangible cultural assets of Korea. jeonsuja is a lower title. \nSince leaving orchestral work behind nine years ago\, gamin has taken these skills in unexpected directions.

She received a grant from the Korean Ministry of Culture\, Sports\, and Tourism in 2011 and has performed at Harvard\, Northwestern\, Dartmouth\, etc. and in Paris\, Strasbourg\, Freibrug\, and Karlsruhe. She has published a book on the piri\, released three albums\, and has been an artist-in-residence at the UPenn James Joo-Jin Kim Program in Korean Studies since 2012. She is “a true pioneer and innovator\, leading these instruments in exciting new directions” — Ralph Samuelson (senior advisor of the Asian Cultural Council). \nJunYi Chow is a Malaysia-born New York-based Composer\, Multi-instrumentalist and Improviser. Chow’s composition has been lauded by the Financial Times for its “skilful contrasts in both volume and texture.” His thorough knowledge of skills and characteristics of both Chinese and Western instruments has made him a leading figure in merging music of East and West. His album “A Traveler’s Portrait” in collaboration with Seungmin Cha (South Korea) was nominated for a Global Music Award in 2018. \nAs an active researcher in the music for Chinese Orchestra\, Chow’s The TENG Guide to the Chinese Orchestra (co-author with Samuel Wong and Chenwei Wang) serves as a one-stop guide for composers\, scholars and enthusiasts alike. \nChow is currently the music conductor of New York Chinese Music Ensemble. As a pianist and cellist\, Chow plays classical repertoire as well as free improvisations. \nYunzhuo Gan graduated from Shanghai Conservatory of Music in Composition and dulcimer major. She got her second Master of Music in Composition at Manhattan School of Music. Yunzhuo studied with Marjorie Merryman. \nAs a Chinese Dulcimer performer\, she has performed throughout the world. Notably\, she twice played for the former president of China at the Shanghai World Expo and Paralympic Games\, and performed at the Cannes International Film Festival and Prague Spring Music Festival etc. \nAs a composer\, she wrote the music and songs for the Chinese film “The Continuation of Love” which wins both “Second batch of key recommended film” and “5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake Memorial Tribute film” prize.

SUMMARY:Neda Boin in Concert:  The Light Has Come (music inspired by A Course in Miracles)
DESCRIPTION:CRS presents an evening with the award-winning singer songwriter Neda Boin of the Netherlands\, whose first album\, “The Light Has Come\,” just won Best Album of the Year at the Rotterdam Music Awards. Amazingly\, Neda\, a student of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) for 8+ years\, channeled all the songs on the album in just two weeks\, all inspired from ACIM Workbook lessons\, making it the first album inspired by ACIM to win album of the year. Profoundly spiritual in nature\, the songs are deeply satisfying as songs\, with beautiful and irresistible music colored with soul\, jazz and world music inflections\, brought to soaring life by Neda’s angelic voice. \n“Neda’s music is a way to merge with the Spirit and feel the absolute glory of Divine Love. Her amazing voice enhances the lyrics from Heaven\, and my soul is lifted every time I listen.” — David Hoffmeister\, author of Unwind Your Mind Back to God \nThis concert will take place Friday\, March 29\, 2019 at 7:30 pm at CRS and kicks off the Living in the Light Course in Miracles Weekend\, which will continue throughout the day on March 30 with talks\, workshops\, and healing shared by Neda Boin\, Corinne Zupko (author of From Anxiety to Love)\, CRS Founder Yasuko Kasaki (author of 16 books in Japanese about ACIM)\, and the CRS healers. This will be the first ACIM weekend in NYC since the CMC ACIM Conference in 2015. \n[box] Individual tickets for the concert as well as for the weekend are available online\, by phone (212-677-8621)\, and at CRS. Concert tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door ($20 at the door for students/seniors with valid ID). \n[button link=”https://www.wellnessliving.com/rs/event/crs?k_class=108569&k_class_tab=13442″ color=”pink”] Buy Concert Tickets![/button] \nSaturday’s program tickets are $120 in advance and $140 at the door ($100 at the door for students/seniors with valid ID).

Before the album was released\, Neda often joked with her friends that she would rename the album to “The Darkness has Come” since there was so much healing taking place before the album fully got recorded. Go to www.nedaboin.com to listen to the album. You’re invited to sing along\, or you can just allow the beautiful words and melodies to wash over you. \n“Those who seek the light are merely covering their eyes\, the light is in them now. Enlightenment is but a recognition\, not a change at all” (W-188.1.2). \nCheck out her mini documentary here to see more about this journey. \n\n\n\nABOUT NEDA BOIN \nNeda\, literally meaning ‘Inner Voice’ or ‘Voice for God\,’ discovered her musical talent at a young age. When she was five years old\, she began\, just like her mother who is a professional violin player\, with playing the violin. However\, singing was always her first love. Around the age of thirteen she learned to play the piano and developed a way to express herself by writing her own songs. In 2006 she won a national music contest with one of the first songs that she wrote. \nIn the summer of 2007 she toured through Kenya for orphanages\, schools\, slums and different tribes with a performance about HIV and AIDS. In the summer of 2008 she went to India to investigate child prostitution and give workshops and performances about women’s rights. It was then that she even more so experienced the power and universal language of music. \n“I saw that making music wasn’t a goal for me anymore\, it became a way to connect with people and touch their hearts\,” she says. A few years later she hitchhiked from The Netherlands all the way down to South Africa. \n“The songs I was writing were mostly inspired by the injustice I saw during my travels. They were songs about wanting to change the world.” But when in 2010\, at age 20\, A Course in Miracles came into her life\, she started training her own mind so she could be the example of love and peace she so badly wanted to see outside herself. \nIn 2013 Neda won both the audience and the jury prizes at the Music Matters Awards\, which made her the music ambassador of Rotterdam for one whole year. Shortly after\, she graduated from the music conservatory of Rotterdam with a Bachelor of Music. She successfully released her first EP\, “When Lambs Become Lions\,” in October 2014. She also started giving songwriting workshops in juvenile prison\, which she is currently still doing. \nIn 2015 Neda convinced all four coaches of “The Voice” of Holland to turn their chairs around for her\, and she made it all the way to the last eight contestants. \nLast year she woke up one morning feeling as if she was being pulled towards the piano where the Course Workbook lesson 124 was lying open: “Let me remember I am one with God.” Words and melodies came pouring through her\, and before she knew it\, she had written a complete song with lyrics from that Workbook lesson. The same thing happened everyday for two weeks until she had enough “Course songs” to fill a whole album\, which turned into her debut album\, “The Light Has Come.” \nYou can learn more about Neda Boin on her web site at nedaboin.com.

Following the performance\, there will be a short talk about Korean tea ceremony and Q&A with the artists. \nFor this event\, which is Vol. 3 of the Crossing Boundaries — Echoes of Korea — Concert Series curated by gamin\, she would like to introduce the Korean concept of Pungnyu\, which is defined as an artistic form of recreation incorporating elements of nature\, life\, and art. Pungnyu is intrinsic to a tasteful lifestyle and to Koreans’ collective and individual entertainment culture. It literally means “streams of wind.” Sharing tea\, playing music\, writing\, and observing the changing of the seasons are traditional pastimes used for transcending the material or secular aspects of life and cultivating a peaceful mind. Participating in a tea ceremony quiets the mind and opens the senses\, allowing us to experience more of the subtlety and depth of the music performance. \nBoth the music and tea ceremony presented in this program have been handed down to us from medieval Buddhist practices. As Buddhism in Korea fell in and out of favor through the centuries\, both the music and the tea ceremony were frequently revised to serve the times. Artists today continue to find ways to explore and extend these traditional art forms in ways that speak to the present moment and connect us not only to our heritage but to one another. \nTickets are $25 and are available online\, by phone (212-677-8621)\, and at CRS. Students/seniors with valid ID are $15 at the door. \nCROSSING BOUNDARIES — ECHOES OF KOREA\, curated by gamin (piri\, taepyeonso\, saenghwang)\, provides musicians from Korea with space to experiment with the new\, to collaborate across genres\, cultures and disciplines\, and to explore new ways of using creative communication to facilitate a shared practice of presence. The goal is to dissolve boundaries between performers and audiences\, the traditional and contemporary\, classical and experimental\, Korea and the world. Participants in the series are encouraged to incorporate meditation\, improvisation\, and collaborations with visual and movement-based artists as well as musical artists from different traditions. \nAbout the Program \nTea ceremony by Sei-Ryun Chun\nPiri & saenghwang played by gamin\nHaegeum played by Min Kyung Park \nOriginally a vocal piece with lyrics drawing on the words of the Buddha’s sermon in Mount Yeongsan\, India\, Yeongsanhoesang became purely instrumental in the 15th century. The music has undergone continuous change with the current version taking form sometime in the 19th century. There are many versions of the suite\, which typically includes 8–9 pieces. While the genesis of the suite is not completely certain\, the first piece of the suite\, “Sangryeongsan” appears to be the foundation for the suite. The following pieces in the suite include variations on “Sangryeongsan\,” as well as standard musical forms and dance pieces of the Joseon era (1392-1910). “Sangryeongsan\,” the slowest and longest piece in the suite\, progresses gracefully and gently like the flow of water. \nThe Korean tea ceremony is distinguished by its emphasis on preparing and enjoying tea with a natural manner and minimum of ritualized formality. Originally\, it was directly connected with Buddhist practices\, but today it can be enjoyed by everyone. Cha (tea) was introduced to Korea around the 6th or 7th century from China. Some Korean scholars or Buddhist monks who traveled to China probably brought tea with them and began to drink in Korea. In the Goryeo dynasty (918-1392)\, Korean tea culture became popular with the rise of Buddhism as a national religion. During the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910)\, the Korean tea culture declined as Confucianism replaced Buddhism as a spiritual mainstream. Buddhism was repressed and became separated from the public. In the early 19th century\, a leading Korean philosopher\, Dasan Jeong Yakyong (1762-1836)\, and the Korean Buddhist Seon (Zen) master Chou Uisun (1786-1866)\, known as the “Father of Korean Tea\,” played key roles in reviving the long lost Korean tea tradition\, which continues today. \nAbout the Artists \nTea master Sei Ryun Chun was born in Busan\, Korea in 1956 and grew up in an artistic family. Majoring in fine art at Kunkuk University in 1979\, she studied sculpture and painting. After graduation\, she taught at Shinjung middle and high schools. In 1981\, she moved to America and studied etching at the New Milford Art Center in New Jersey and New York University in New York. She has also written extensively about art. She received the AHL Foundation artist’s prize in 2000. She has had 14 solo exhibitions and participated in the Miami Art Fair and Fine Art Fair San Francisco. She has been curating exhibitions in New York and New Jersey. She is currently incorporating her mastery of the traditional Korean tea ceremony into her exhibitions and presentations. seiryunchun.com \ngamin is a master practitioner of the piri\, taepyongso (double reed instruments)\, and saenghwang (reed mouth organ). Currently\, as a yisuja (designated master) of the Important Intangible Cultural Asset No.46 for piri court music and Daechita\, she strives to both preserve and enhance traditional Korean music. At Seoul National University and as a member and assistant principal player of the Contemporary Gugak Orchestra\, Gamin has used her virtuosity to perform authentic jeongak (classical court music) and sinawi (shaman ritual music)\, as well as new compositions for her instruments. gamin-music.com \nHaegeum instrumentalist Minkyung Park is a recipient of the 67th Chosun Daily Debut Concert and was selected as 2006 Kumho Young Artist by Kumho Asiana Foundation for Arts and Culture\, which discovers and supports nationally talented instrumentalists. She has performed at many prestigious venues internationally including ‘tea music – longing for friends’ in NYC\, combining art performance with harmonization of various genre of music and arts.

SUMMARY:Music Concert:  Rio x Rio Special Live in NY
DESCRIPTION:CRS presents Rio x Rio Special Live in NY\, a showcase of dazzling rock-style sanshin playing by Rio Inyaku (kankara-sanshin and vocal) and melodic ballads by Rio’ (piano and vocals)\, two exceptional young musicians from Japan\, on August 23\, 2018 at 8 pm. The teen phenoms will each play a solo set and also perform together. After the concert we invite you to stay and enjoy refreshments with Rio x Rio. \nThere is a suggested donation of $20 cash. Please RSVP here. Families and kids are welcome! \n7:40 pm Doors open\n8:00 pm Concert begins\n9:30 – 10 pm Reception *ready to serve food and drink donations are also welcome! \nAbout the Performers \nRio Inyaku is a 16-year-old can-based sanshin (kankara-sanshin) player. He plays kankara-sanshin extremely fast and also behind his neck just like Jimi Hendrix. He uses effects pedals and a loop station connector with kankara-sanshin\, which makes his music unique. He has performed live in many cities\, including on big stages such as “World Eisa Contest 2017” held at the National Theater Okinawa\, and “Sanshin-day\,” one of the biggest folk song festivals in Japan. \nRio’s set of Okinawan folk songs\, fusion of Okinawan and American pop\, and remix of Ryukyo classical and folk music and his amazing performance with two sanshins will surely bring you the joy of living from the South Island! \nhttp://riomusic.rederio.jp\nhttps://www.facebook.com/OkinawaRio\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EV5c198GqU \nThe Kankara-sanshin I play with is originally a handmade can-based music instrument that comforted Okinawan people in the aftermath of the 2nd World War. Okinawa\, which is located in southern-most Japan\, consists of many beautiful islands with rich culture and friendly people. In 1945 the battle of Okinawa was fierce and many people died\, but the survivors never lost their love of life\, nor their love of music\, and they restored the community. My dream is to create new Okinawan songs and sing with friends all over the world to make the Earth a happier place to live. Let’s enjoy music and celebrate the joy of living altogether!  — Rio Inyaku \nRio’ is a14-year-old singer-songwriter and pianist. She has been learning the basics of music and piano since she was three years old\, and since she was six years old also music theory and composition. She has won a series of authoritative piano performance competitions and composition competitions every year\, and her outstanding career has attracted many music stake holders. She started writing songs with lyrics and playing the guitar in 2017 and her YouTube channel “Ririon” already developed a good reputation. In December 2017\, she recorded her original song “Daijoubu” (which means “You are OK” in English) with a band arrangement. It was distributed worldwide by iTunes\, Amazon Music etc. in February 2018. Drumming\, recording\, mixing and mastering are by Masatatsu Tsubuki\, a renowned recording engineer in Japan. She makes her inspiration from heaven into her lyrics and sings for the world with love and warmth. \nHer original music is distributed at https://www.tunecore.co.jp/artist/Rio_ririon\nFacebook https://www.facebook.com/Rio.ririon7/\nDigest videos https://youtu.be/LVZY-sYoTAY\nYouTube “Ririon” https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuapS8rqLY4p8AtE52sI_fg \nI have composed many piano songs since I was little. One day when I was 13 years old\, I suddenly had an inspiration of lyrics and melodies; they naturally became a song. Since then\, when I am relaxed\, lyrics and melodies come to me at the same time\, which makes me feel like they are coming down from heaven. In April I stayed at the home of an American family in the Los Angeles suburbs\, and I realized we can communicate by music without words. I would like to make many people happy and cheerful with my music. At this concert I will sing my original songs and play my original piano instrumental composition. I am looking forward to seeing you all!      — Rio’ \n  \n

SUMMARY:Concert:  J-Pop Star Naomi Suzuki & Rakugo Artist Ken Saito
DESCRIPTION:Mar Creation\, Inc. & London-based J-Pop Star Naomi Suzuki invite you to an Eastern Japan Great Earthquake Disaster Charity Concert. Naomi will sing Japanese Showa era songs arranged in a jazzy style and backed by a four piece band from the NY community: Oda Mura (guitar)\, Noa McNeill (piano)\, Yousuke Yosuke (drum)\, and Yamada Yoshiki (base). Rakugo (Japanese comedic storytelling) artist Ken Saito\, who is now preparing a show for Broadway debut in 2019\, will also perform (in Japanese). Attendees are asked to make a suggested cash donation of $20 at the door. Proceeds will go to the non-profit organization Rainbow Bridge World Project. \nSinger/Actress/Presenter Naomi Suzuki was scouted and brought to the UK by Polygram records in the late 90’s and since then has embarked on projects of both critical and commercial success. She reached number 12 in the UK singles charts and is active as a member of musical duo AJ Unity and solo songwriter as well as a prolific performer for charity events. Her single “Our Song”\, recorded for the victims of the 2011 Japanese tsunami was produced with Grammy award-winning Andy Wright\, who had previously worked with acts such as Bon Jovi and David Bowie. https://www.naomisuzuki.co.uk \nNaomi also has an impressive acting repertoire and has experience with acting in both British drama and European commercials\, one of her more notable roles alongside actor Hugh Grant. She also found herself the subject of a BBC documentary in the late 90’s and has been featured in numerous news and magazine articles. \nNaomi also became the first Japanese singer to perform at the Houses of Parliment where she gave a rousing performance on 5th March 2015 at the Memorial Concert for Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. The concert\, which marked the 4th anniversary of the disaster\, was a great success drawing attention from the Japanese press and media. \n\nHaving chaired the largest Japanese festival in the UK\, Japan Matsuri\, for 4 years\, Naomi is also a reputable events host and has worked with Matsutake Kabuki and NHK broadcasting amongst others. She is also part of the PR team for her hometown of Tagawa\, Fukuoka Prefecture alongside cartoon mascot Taga-tan. \nAs a presenter\, Naomi is most well known for her show “Naomi’s London Calling” where she mainly presents about life in London as well as broadcasting support for the Japan tsunami victims. She has also presented the London edition of the popular Japanese radio show “Grown Up European City Walks” alongside ex Fuji TV star Chinatsu Otsubo. \nAt the time of the Japanese tsunami disaster in 2011 Naomi was in very ill health but after hearing of the disaster victims’ plight she was able to overcome her condition and resume activities with renewed vigor. Not only did she release a new double A-side charity single\, whose proceeds went to the disaster area\, but also wrote the song “Home” together with disaster victims so that their feelings could be heard by the World. \nAs well as performing for charity at the Sendai Street Jazz Festival and Totteoki music festival\, both of which attract hundreds of thousands of visitors each\, Naomi also organised charity gigs alongside fellow performers and backing musicians from Japan. She is particularly concerned for the welfare of the scores of orphans and disadvantaged children left behind by the disaster and works with numerous NPO’s.­ \nIn 2016 Naomi organised and performed at the 5th Japan Earthquake Memorial Concert held at the Islington Assemble Hall London and personally handed over all donations to affected areas in Japan. Following this Naomi toured Japan and donated all profits from ticket sales to the cause. This event was covered in all major newspapers in Japan and was also reported on NHK TV.

SUMMARY:Sound Meditation Concert with Kana Kamitsubo Markovic
DESCRIPTION:CRS invites you to an intimate afternoon of music and meditation with concert pianist\, music therapist and Hug Music Founder Kana Kamitsubo Markovic and CRS co-Founder Christopher Pelham. Kana magically weaves our visualizations into her music\, improvisationally creating rich tapestries of sounds with emotional depth and breadth to compliment her own haunting compositions. Participants are welcome to lay down\, mediate\, dance\, sing\, play music along with Kana’s improvisation. The purpose of this event is for you to connect with yourself and listen to what “it” wants to say. \nIn Kana’s work\, listening and playing\, process and performance are one. Exquisitely attuning herself to the conversation between her deepest impulses and our own\, she allows her spirit to translate this dance of giving and receiving into music in which we can all recognize ourselves. \nThe event will take place on Sunday\, April 29\, 2018 from 1 – 2:30 pm. Tickets are $35 at the door and $30 through 4/28 and are available online\, by phone (212-677-8621)\, and at the door. Participation will be limited to 15. \nhttp://www.hugmusicny.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/kana-impro-twinkle-spider-oyasumi.mp3\nKana Kamitsubo is a pianist trained in classical & jazz\, a board-certified music therapist\, as well as a founder/owner of Hug Music\, a music school located in Queens. She began her piano study by the age of three. During her childhood\, she spent most of the time playing her piano by improvising and composing. Her favorite thing was to reflect the energy around her (energy of her home\, family\, people who visited her) on her improvisation and she would improvise endlessly without knowing it was a very special talent she was given. As her piano study became more serious\, she stopped playing freely but started to focus on “what others would think is good” by following her piano teachers’ advise. At 19 years old\, she felt extremely detached from music and struggled. \nThen\, she decided to study jazz piano. At 20 years old\, she met her piano teacher\, Takeshi\, who told her\, “Listen to the music inside of you first\, and strike the keys to play the melody you just heard.” He taught the importance of being authentic in the music and following where the music wants to go instead of thinking what to play. In order to fully understand his words and also master this\, Kana started to record herself at every single opportunity (practicing\, rehearsal\, performances)\, listening to the recordings\, and taking notes on what she was feeling/thinking when she played and how it affected her music. After years of doing this practice\, she has concluded that when ego takes over\, the music loses its life; when she listens to the spirit and plays music with it\, the music spreads love and she is able to connect with others. This has become her philosophy as a musician. \nAt age 25\, she was awarded a Berklee World Scholarship and moved to Boston to further study piano performance and music therapy. There\, her approach was validated when\, as a music therapy student\, she began working with individuals with disabilities. She cultivated her clinical skills based on her philosophy and was recognized by Berklee College of Music for demonstrating extraordinary therapeutic musical skills. As a result\, she received numerous awards\, and afterward was hired by Berklee to help develop their “Clinical Music Improvisation” curriculum. \nAs a licensed clinician\, she has worked with diverse populations including children with special needs and has developed her own method that has been proven to be effective for children with autism spectrum disorder. While she works as an active music therapist\, she also composes and performs with her husband as an acoustic duo unit called Yagull. The past few years\, Kana started to study A Course in Miracles (ACIM) with Yasuko Kasaki and Naoko Ono. Kana has discovered that the process of improvising (listening to the music inside of her mind and then striking the keys to play the music she heard) mirrors ACIM’s direction to listen to our inner voice. \nCRS Founder Yasuko Kasaki strongly advised Kana to perform for others more actively. Kana further cultivates her spirituality and musicality and realized that creating music with others (by reflecting the energy around her) is a very special ability she has been given. Now Kana knows that she wants to devote her life to sharing it. \nhttp://www.hugmusicny.com \nhttp://www.yagull.com

SUMMARY:Shan.Shui (山水\, Mountain Water):  an improvisational concert in six movements
DESCRIPTION:CRS presents Shan.Shui (山水\, Mountain Water)\,  an improvisational concert of music and dance in six movements by cellist JunYi Chow\, shō player Chatori Shimizu\, crystal singing bowl player Miyoko Satoh\, and binbinFactory dance artist Satoshi Haga. \nThe performance is inspired by the paradoxical feelings that arise when viewing paintings in the Shan.Shui landscape tradition of China\, particularly scenes of mountains bathed in clouds. The typically blueish mist suggests the gently flowing waves of a tranquil sea\, and yet the vastness of the mountain ranges also imparts a sense of magnificent solidity. Holding this image and these feelings in their mind\, the performers will seek to transmit them in some way to the audience through six sections of about 10 minutes each: Solo 1 – Solo 2 – Duo – Trio – Quartet – CODA. \nThe concert will take place at CRS on Sunday\, April 22\, 2018 at 7 pm. Tickets are $25 at the door and $20 before 4/22 and are available online\, by phone (212-677-8621)\, and at CRS. Tickets for students with ID are $20 at the door. \nThis concert is part of an informal series of chamber concerts at CRS incorporating meditation as a means of deepening the connection between artists and audience and is the second such concert at CRS involving musicians JunYi Chow and Miyoko Satoh. \nMalaysia-born\, New York-based composer\, multi-instrumentalist and improviser JunYi Chow’s music has been lauded by the Financial Times for its “skilful contrasts in both volume and texture.” His interest in music explores the indefinite possibilities of tone colour and sound\, and features a mixed musical style based on classical contemporary music\, Chinese tunes\, Gamelan music\, minimalism\, and popular music\, amongst other influences. In March 2017\, he received the Grand Prize of Best Orchestra Work by Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra International Composition Competition. He recently presented “Stillness in Queens\,” a collaborative cross-disciplinary work with video artist Karen Y. Chan that was partly funded by the Queens Council On The Arts. He is currently the Composer-In-Residence of Teng Company (Singapore) and Vivo Experimental Orchestra (Malaysia). He graduated from Indiana University and Central Conservatory of Music\, majoring in music composition. http://www.junyichow.com \nSatoshi Haga has been collaborating with Rie Fukuzawa as binbinFactory since 2010. He also collaborates with Jen Shyu\, composer\, vocalist and band leader. Satoshi recently worked for the off-Broadway show\, TBTB production of Charles Ludlam’s “The Artificial Jungle” as Puppet Master. binbinFactory collaborated with TBTB and toured in Japan in 2017. binbinFactory will perform in France in July and will be in residency in Norway in October of 2018.\nhttp://www.binbinfactory.org \nMiyoko Satoh is a Spiritual Healer. She was born and raised in Japan. In her childhood she awakened to her spiritual awareness of the world beyond. In 2001\, she began studying A Course in Miracles and meditation further developing her spiritual awareness at CRS. In 2004\, she began offering spiritual counseling and energy healing work. She also expresses her creativity in different ways such as dancing\, singing and playing Crystal Singing Bowls. She offers private healing sessions\, counseling for relationship\, career etc…..\, and sound healing with crystal singing bowls.\nhttp://miyokosspiritualgarden.com/home.html \nChatori Shimizu is a Berlin based composer\, shō improviser\, and sound artist\, who constructs his works for a wide range of mediums concerning sound and space. Shimizu’s works have been performed and exhibited in concerts and festivals throughout the United States\, Japan\, Europe\, China\, and South East Asia. Shimizu has been awarded fellowships from Columbia University School of the Arts\, Institute of Medieval Japanese Studies\, the Mitsubishi Foundation\, Omi International Arts Center\, Soundstreams\, Toshiba Foundation\, Yaddo\, among others.

SUMMARY:Concert:  Megumi Saruhashi Quartet —  Arabian Fairies
DESCRIPTION:Boarder-crossing violinist Megumi Saruhashi presents “From the Music Room in the Inner Space – Arabian Fairies\,” an evening of her original compositions in the award-winning White Room at CRS on Saturday 1/27/18 from 7 – 8:30 pm. Joining her are Alon Nechushtan on piano\, Brian Prunka on oud\, and Dan Kurfirst on percussion. Tickets are $25 and are available online at https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3231800. \n Megumi Saruhashi’s music is ignited by a wide range of influences\, including Arabic music\, jazz\, classical\, tango\, gospel\, minimalism and many more. Focusing on the intersections and connections between music and the soul\, Saruhashi uses her musical training to form new and unexpected alliances between musical genres. Believing herself to be a conduit that synthesizes the musical and spiritual realms\, Saruhashi refers to herself as a “hollow bone.” She strives to draw out the consciousness of listeners and connect on a deeply spiritual level that cuts across cultural and sonic barriers. \n“My ability to flow between different musical genres and cultures means I have the skill to create a musical alchemy. Responding to the whispers of the internal world of spirit\, I draw this into the present moment. Being able to be a hollow bone – a flute of the music of God – and share that music that I receive from the source and to be able to share that with the world is my passion.

In October 2015 the Kennedy Center comissioned from Alon Nechushtan a new piece for Billy Strayhorn Centennial Celebration\, followed by a Far East tour in China and Phillipines\, along with Jazz Festivals in Belo Horizonte-Brazil\, Israel. In 2017 the Smithsonian Museum in Washington\, D.C commissioned from Alon Nechushtan a new program of Thelonious Monk’s less known compositions. All About Jazz magazine called him “A fantastic pianist-composerwith abundant chemistry and boundless eclectisism”\, while DownBeat Magazine  recognizes “A talent to watch\, with a surfeit of ideas\, an unbridled spirit and bold\,two-fisted sense of Architecture.” http://musicalon.com \nPrior to moving to Brooklyn in 2003\, Brian Prunka was living and performing in New Orleans\, where he spent his musically formative years honing his musical skills immersed in the jazz community. While his background was in traditional and modern jazz\, as well as the rock and blues music of his teenage years\, Brian has always found himself drawn to a wide range of music without regard to boundaries\, national or otherwise. In the late 90s\, fate introduced him to the oud\, and he had an instant and profound connection with this storied instrument. A chance conversation led him to begin studying with the renowned virtuoso Simon Shaheen and ultimately to becoming involved in the Arabic music community as well. He has sought over the years to find ways to bring together the essential characteristics of all the music he loves through both his improvisational style and his many diverse compositions. These days equally proficient on both guitar and oud\, Brian composes and performs jazz and middle-eastern influenced music with his own projects (such as the Near East River Ensemble) and with musicians such as Michael Bates and Simon Shaheen. He currently performs with Nashaz\, Sharq Attack\, Zikrayat\, the Bil Afrah Project and others. He has performed throughout the U.S. and internationally with Simon Shaheen\, Michael Bates\, Ravish Momin\, the New York Arabic Orchestra\, The Vancouver International Orchestra\, Zikrayat\, The Near East River Ensemble\, and others. In addition to national and international events\, he has performed in New York at The Stone\, Tonic\, the Knitting Factory\, the River to River Festival\, Symphony Space\, Alwan for the Arts\, Trinity Church\, Rooftop Films\, Bronx River Arts Center\, Bethlehem MusikFest\, the Abode of the Message\, and CBGBs\, among others. He has received grants from the Brooklyn Arts Council and NY Dept. of Cultural Affairs\, and was an instructor in oud and Arabic music theory at Simon Shaheen’s Arabic Music Retreat from 2012-2014.Brian Prunka currently performs on D’angelico and Gibson guitars and Fender amplifiers. http://www.brianprunka.com \nDan Kurfirst is an NYC based percussionist\, composer and improviser. Born and raised in Brooklyn\, NY\, his music is a product of his good fortune to have been brought up amongst people of all different cultures and master practitioners of varying musical styles. He has formally studied the Drumset with Nasheet Waits\, Tariq Snare and Gregg Bendian. He has studied percussion under the tutelage of Shane Shanahan and Hakan Kaya. He has performed extensively in the New York City world music and improvised music scenes for years and has performed with various groups throughout Europe\, India and the Middle East. The beautiful human beings that he has had the pleasure to work with are too numerous to list in total\, but some of them are: Gabriel Marin\, Matt Darriau\, Brandon Terzic\, Adam Rudolph\, Daniel Carter\, Ras Moshe\, Daro Behroozi\, Kane Mathis\, Brian Prunka\, Abraham Mennen and Ben Cohen. Dan leads Spheric Sound Unit\, a group dedicated to exploring cultural syncretism through music. He also co-leads Ensemble Fanaa\, a trio which explores the intersection between African American\, North African and Middle Eastern musical traditions. He recently worked as Musical Director for the Childrens Museum of Manhattan’s America To Zanzibar exhibit\, helping to develop a touchscreen application for the “A Children to explore music of the Islamic world from India to Egypt to Indonesia. http://dankurfirstmusic.com

An elegant refined presence perfectly poised\, she played with precision\, beauty and the utmost confidence….” — San Francisco Examiner \nAfter many centuries\, the brilliance of traditional Japanese music is still being passed on to the present day. Come and experience the sounds of koto and shamisen and enjoy the taste of the four seasons here in New York. This concert series will feature each season’s representative traditional works along with the colorful and delicate Japanese style confectionaries. \nThis will be the second concert of Volume 3 of this seasonal series of music concerts called Four Seasons in New York — Gems of Japanese Music.

Spring traditionally begins with sakura (cherry blossoms)\, broccoli rabe\, strawberries and raspberries\, followed by elderflower\, rose\, edamame and sansho (Japanese pepper) in summer. As autumn approaches we’ll pick chrysanthemum\, apples\, grapes\, chestnuts and hazelnuts; and yuzu and kumquats in winter…. Even within one season\, the taste and the form change gradually from hashiri through nagori. \nmochi Rin / Bite-sized mochi dessert made with organic bean paste\, seasonally fruits and flowers in NY. \nWe present a new type of mochi that doesn’t quite exist in Japan\, by infusing New York’s locally-sourced ingredients into Japan’s popular traditional dessert —the stuffed mochi rounds\, such as daifuku and sakura-mochi — and mixing in rin\, the element of restrained grace.  http://www.rin-nyc.com \n  \n  \nMore about Yoko Reikano Kimura \nAs a frequent soloist and collaborator\, Japanese born Koto/Shamisen performer and singer Yoko Reikano Kimura has performed in NYC\, Chicago\, Tokyo\, Kyoto and many other cities\, featuring a wide-ranging repertoire from classical Japanese music to improvisational pieces.

SUMMARY:Sound Meditation Concert with Kana Kamitsubo Markovic
DESCRIPTION:CRS invites you to an intimate afternoon of music and meditation with concert pianist\, music therapist and Hug Music Founder Kana Kamitsubo Markovic and CRS Founder Yasuko Kasaki. Kana magically weaves our visualizations into her music\, improvisationally creating rich tapestries of sounds with emotional depth and breadth to compliment her own haunting compositions. In Kana’s work\, listening and playing\, process and performance are one. Exquisitely attuning herself to the conversation between her deepest impulses and our own\, she allows her spirit to translate this dance of giving and receiving into music in which we can all recognize ourselves. \nThe event will take place in the award-winning White Room at CRS on Sunday\, December 17 from 2 – 3;30 pm. Tickets are $30 at the door and $25 through 12/16 online\, by phone (212-677-8621)\, and at the door. \nhttp://www.hugmusicny.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/kana-impro-twinkle-spider-oyasumi.mp3\nKana Kamitsubo is a pianist trained in classical & jazz\, a board-certified music therapist\, as well as a founder/owner of Hug Music\, a music school located in Queens. She began her piano study by the age of three. During her childhood\, she spent most of the time playing her piano by improvising and composing. Her favorite thing was to reflect the energy around her (energy of her home\, family\, people who visited her) on her improvisation and she would improvise endlessly without knowing it was a very special talent she was given. As her piano study became more serious\, she stopped playing freely but started to focus on “what others would think is good” by following her piano teachers’ advise. At 19 years old\, she felt extremely detached from music and struggled. \nThen\, she decided to study jazz piano. At 20 years old\, she met her piano teacher\, Takeshi\, who told her\, “Listen to the music inside of you first\, and strike the keys to play the melody you just heard.” He taught the importance of being authentic in the music and following where the music wants to go instead of thinking what to play. In order to fully understand his words and also master this\, Kana started to record herself at every single opportunity (practicing\, rehearsal\, performances)\, listening to the recordings\, and taking notes on what she was feeling/thinking when she played and how it affected her music. After years of doing this practice\, she has concluded that when ego takes over\, the music loses its life; when she listens to the spirit and plays music with it\, the music spreads love and she is able to connect with others. This has become her philosophy as a musician. \nAt age 25\, she was awarded a Berklee World Scholarship and moved to Boston to further study piano performance and music therapy. There\, her approach was validated when\, as a music therapy student\, she began working with individuals with disabilities. She cultivated her clinical skills based on her philosophy and was recognized by Berklee College of Music for demonstrating extraordinary therapeutic musical skills. As a result\, she received numerous awards\, and afterward was hired by Berklee to help develop their “Clinical Music Improvisation” curriculum. \nAs a licensed clinician\, she has worked with diverse populations including children with special needs and has developed her own method that has been proven to be effective for children with autism spectrum disorder. While she works as an active music therapist\, she also composes and performs with her husband as an acoustic duo unit called Yagull. The past few years\, Kana started to study A Course in Miracles (ACIM) with Yasuko Kasaki and Naoko Ono. Kana has discovered that the process of improvising (listening to the music inside of her mind and then striking the keys to play the music she heard) mirrors ACIM’s direction to listen to our inner voice. \nYasuko Kasaki strongly advised Kana to perform for others more actively. Kana further cultivates her spirituality and musicality and realized that creating music with others (by reflecting the energy around her) is a very special ability she has been given. Now Kana knows that she wants to devote her life to sharing it. \nhttp://www.hugmusicny.com \nhttp://www.yagull.com
