“Concert by Miraika”

a “new sound” through the collaboration of
Western and traditional Japanese musical instruments.

You will not want to miss our September luncheon entertainment!  We are pleased to present the musical group, Miraika.  This group of musicians has garnered praise for their development of a “new sound” through the collaboration of Western and traditional Japanese musical instruments.  

Satomi Hidaka, Koto performer, established the Miraika group:  miraika means "flowers for the future".  As their name implies, Miraika's goal is “to seek the vast and broad future possibilities of music”.  Just recently, Hidaka performed for the Chinese President when he attended the Summit Conference in Hokkaido. 

Miraika plays a diverse range of music from classical, pop, and jazz to traditional Japanese music and melodies.  The group who will perform for us consists of Koto, Seventeen-String Koto, Shakuhachi, and Violin players, presenting a variety of international music.

Be sure to join us on September 17^th.  It will be a wonderful start to our upcoming fall CWAJ activities, as you enjoy an excellent performance by a very talented group of musicians!
