 Featured Artists:
Masahide Kurita ("Kuri") started his musical education at age 5 and began training on the flute at age 11. He has taken lessons and master classes with world famous flautist James Galway in Japan, USA and Switzerland and was an active player in James Galway’s International Flute Seminars held in Lucerne, Switzerland in 1994 and 1995. His meeting and subsequent lessons with James Galway were fundamental in shaping his artistic tone development. Kurita made his European debut concert with Japanese pianist Maho Nabeshima in Goerlitz, Germany in May 1999.
