Parthenia and Duo YUMENO combine their artistry to blend east with west, old with new, in works for koto and cello, viol consort, and five viols and koto, featuring dances by John Dowland and a world premier by Japanese composer Yoko Sato.
Parthenia is one of the most leading consort music ensembles in New York city and it is hailed by the New Yorker as “one of the brightest lights in New York’s early-music scene.” Duo YUMENO is Yoko Reikano Kimura, koto and voice, and Hikaru Tamaki, cello and viol.
