Kohei NISHIKAWA
  - Japanese Flute / Western Flute

He started as a flutist and won the third prize at the Australia International Flute Competition. He was the principal flutist of Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra. As a musician of Japanese traditional music, he is quite an exception, because most of the musicians in the field are trained from the childhood to succeed the traditioncal art of the family. He is a member of Promusica Nipponica, established for the promotion of Japanese traditional music.   Besides giving concerts all over Japan, he accompanies Kabuki performances and performs various interesting stage presentations as well.


Hideko NARA
  - Piano

She has been actively performing in Japan and North America as a pianist. In addition to the chamber music and the music of Japanese composers, she also specializes in French and Spanish music, which may be a reflection of her study in Paris. She has won prizes at several international piano competitions in Italy and Spain. She teaches at Showa University of Music. Her CD recording "E.Satie - Sports et Divertissements" was selected as the "Gold Disc" performance by the prestageous Japanese music magazine "Record Geijyutsu".
