Kimura\, together with CRS (Center for Remembering and Sharing)\, began this concert series in the fall of 2015. As a Japanese instrumentalist\, she hopes to introduce the brilliance of traditional Japanese music\, which is still being passed on to future generations after many centuries. Starting with the 2018-19 season\, the series has featured contemporary pieces composed by living composers as well. Since the first concert\, about 50 works from the classical repertoire have been introduced in the concert series. Please come and experience the sounds of koto and shamisen and enjoy the taste of the four seasons here in New York! \nAbout past performances: https://www.yokoreikanokimura.com/projects/fourseasons/ \nAbout the Artists \nYOKO REIKANO KIMURA is a distinguished virtuoso of Japanese koto\, shamisen performer and singer in both traditional and contemporary music.
