Hello everybody! It's a bit late... but... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I wish you all the best.

I spent very a busy but meaningful November and December 2019. I had three different stages then. Two of them were held in Tokyo. My baroque oboe teacher Kayoko invited me to play together at Tokyo Oshiage's authentic Soba restaurant. We played Albinoni's concert for two oboes, Vivaldi's Trio sonata for two oboes, and so on.  And one more concert was held in Mito, my home town. The program was as same one as we played at Tokyo's concert.

 

At the concert, we both played solo pieces too. Geminiani's sonata and Vivaldi's sonata. These concerts were very special for me because they were the first self organized concerts after I came back to Japan!! I found it's interesting that the more I am experienced and know about things, more and more concerns are coming to my mind before I decide to act. I think this is what people say "becoming adult...?" Anyway, I was relieved after I finished all the concerts. Thank you for your big help Kayoko and thank you too to the pianists Hiromi and Mamiko. They are all great musicians.

 

This year 2020 is special year for me. Many changes and new experiences are waiting for me!! I'm looking forward to go through them. I'll write again!! See you then.
