Three Asian artists from China, Japan and Korea collaborate for the first time to interpret the oriental character in a western context.
In New York, where immigrants gather, Asian artists have always been a different scene. On December 3, L Private Gallery will present an audiovisual experiment to the public in collaboration with Japanese violinist, Korean composer and Chinese crossover artist. Let's wait and see what impression will be left between the quiet restraint and mysterious agitation of Asians and the unrestrained and cathartic music of Western contextual music.
Winner of the 2019 GRAMMY Award for Best Chamber Music/ Small Ensemble Performance, Japanese-born violinist Keiko Tokunaga spends most of her days touring and performing globally as a soloist and chamber musician. Keiko has been praised by the Strings Magazine for possessing a sound “with probing quality that is supple and airborne” and for her “pure, pellucid bow strokes”. She has soloed with various orchestras including the Spanish National Orchestra, Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona i Nacional de Catalunya and Virginia Arts Festival Chamber Orchestra.In 2021, Keiko founded INTERWOVEN, an intercultural ensemble whose mission is to elevate the visibility of the AAAPI (Asian, Asian American and Pacific Islander) artists by integrating the musical traditions of the East and West. Keiko holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, as well as Artist Diploma from The Juilliard School. She currently plays on a J. B. Vuillaume violin from 1845, generously loaned by an anonymous donor.

A classically-trained composer and scholar of Korean avant-garde theater, Kim has received multiple commissions from the National Gugak Center, Korea’s premiere traditional music center. He is also the founder of CMB 567, an organization examining intra-Asian relations through contemporary art and music. Kim’s collaborators include pioneering artists like Shin-Ja Hong, Asoon Ahn, Gloria McLean, Whitewave, String Noise, and Chang-Jin Lee. His compositions have premiered at La MaMa, Dance Theater Workshop, Tenri Gallery, and other venues.

In 2019, he became a composer-in-residence at Brandeis University.
