Shirley Kazuyo Muramoto with the Murasaki Ensemble and Guests

With Special Guest from Japan, Masahiro Nitta

Some of the best musicians in their fields will be getting together to bring you music that you won’t find

anywhere else!

Young master Masahiro Nitta from Japan will dazzle with his lightening fast tsugaru shamisen.

Joining him will be the fantastic musicians of the Murasaki Ensemble:

Vince Delgado on Arabic percussion, Matt Eakle on silver “big wind” flute, Jeff Massanari on smooth

groovin’ guitar, Alex Baum on his crazy string bass, led by this year’s Bunka (Japanese cultural) Hall of

 Famer Shirley Muramoto;

the equally amazing Kyle Abbott, director of Bachido.com, also on tsugaru shamisen;

 Michael Sasaki on funk rock guitar from the groups Cold Blood and Hiroshima;

 Karl Young on the beautiful and meditative shakuhachi (bamboo flute);

and Brian Mitsuhiro Wong playing his exquisite koto stylings. This concert will bring the best music of the 

East and West in one place one time!
Don’t miss it!
