Yumi Kurosawa Trio - Metamorphosis (2023)

Yumi Kurosawa is one of today's most exciting soloists on Japan's national instrument, the Koto. Marking the debut of her new album Metamorphosis, Yumi creates a transformative listening experience through her new compositions.

The Yumi Kurosawa Trio blends the Violin, Percussion and Koto that draws upon many musical influences to reveal her abundant curiosity and remarkable capacity. Latin Percussion, Shakuhachi and Alto Saxophone add a variety of tonal colors. The idea of borderless music is reimagined to create something very unique and special.

This album recording and the world premiere of several music pieces are commissioned by Chamber Music America’s Artistic Projects program funded through the generosity of Howard Gilman Foundation.
