Joji Hattori Joji Hattori is an artist who's engaging personality and deeply committed performances have made him one of the leading Japanese violinists of his generation. In addition to his activities as violin soloist, he spends a significant amount of time conducting chamber orchestras and playing chamber music. Hattori started playing the violin at the age of five and spent his childhood in a very musical family, regularly playing chamber music with leading Viennese musicians in informal home concerts. Later he studied with Rainer Kuchl at the Vienna Academy of Music followed by intensive private study with Herman Krebbers, Michel Schwalbe and Vladimir Spivakov. In 1989 he won First Prize, the Bach and the Audience Prize at the Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition, closely followed by a successful UK debut with Menuhin and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1992 his concerto debut in Tokyo lead him to being awarded the most prestigious honour for young musicians in Japan, the Japan Steel 'Young Musician of the Year'. Since then, he has been regularly invited to appear with most of the major Japanese symphony orchestras, including the New Japan Philharmonic under Seiji Ozawa. In Europe, Joji Hattori has appeared as soloist with many distinguished orchestras including the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Munich Radio Orchestra, Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, Slovakian Philharmonic, Sinfonia Varsovia, the Vienna, Israel and English Chamber orchestras and the Moscow Virtuosi.

The Tokyo Ensemble is the only Japanese chamber orchestra of its compact size and consists of about 16 top young chamber musicians in Tokyo. Most performances of the Ensemble features both the chamber orchestra as well as the chamber music repertoire. Founded by the violinist Joji Hattori last year, the Tokyo Ensemble was already so successful in its first year that it has been invited by Tokyo's Opera City Hall to perform within its prestigious orchestra concert series this year (September 2002). The Tokyo Ensemble aims to display its expressive and communicative style through the versatility of the programme as well as through its appearance (with an elegant uniform in black and yellow, the Ensemble's image colours). Last year, the famous Japanese composer, Ikuma Dan dedicated a new piece "2 Fragments in Black and Yellow" to the Ensemble for its inaugurative concert. This year, the Tokyo Ensemble will perform "Sad Song" for solo violin and strings by the prominent Korean composer Joonil Kang. The Tokyo Ensemble already has some plans to tour Europe within the next few years and perform in Portugal with the renowned pianist Maria Joao Pires.

He went on to record an exciting new Double Concerto for Guitar, Electric Bass and String Orchestra by the esteemed British composer Andrew Downes. But his fame found new impetus with the release of “Favourite Guitar Works” on the Classic FM/BMG Conifer label. Simon's CD was one of the best selling in the collection and can be heard frequently on Classic FM. Subsequent releases include a collection of guitar works on the RCA Victor label that features Simon alongside Julian Bream and John Williams.

Chamber Music Festival Continues With Emerson And Ying Quartets The 2001 winner is 16year-old violinist Howard Zhang from Shanghai, China. musicians, joining soloists Sadao Harada (cello), joji hattori and Teo Arias (violin) and Jasminka Stancul http://www.infosma.com/atencion/festival_continues.htm

Chamber Music Festival continues with Emerson and Ying Quartets By Jim Helsing After weekend concerts by the St. Petersburg Quartet and Finckel-Han cellist-piano duo, the Festival de Música de Cámara’s first full week includes performances by the Emerson and Ying string quartets, two concerts showcasing winners of international contests, and a one-time appearance of an ensemble of four star musicians from around the world. The Emerson Quartet leads off the week on July 31, with a concert that includes quartets by Haydn, Shostakovich and Mendelssohn. The Haydn work is nicknamed The Joke because of its comic finale. The Shostakovich quartet, No. 14 of a total of 15, is a mysterious work with many solos and moments of extreme isolation, which “threaten to unravel the four-way fabric of quartet discourse.” This quartet “forces an unusually heavy responsibility upon the listener to follow the music’s argument and conveys a very contemporary sense of doubt and absurdity.” The final work on the Emerson program is the Mendelssohn Quartet in A minor, Op. 13, written when the composer was 18, to memorialize having fallen in love while on a holiday. On August 1, the St. Petersburg Quartet will perform Shostakovich, Dvorak and Borodin. Thursday, August 2, will feature the winner of the Irving Klein International Competition, held annually in San Francisco. The 2001 winner is 16-year-old violinist Howard Zhang from Shanghai, China. Zhang is now a student at the Julliard School of Music in New York City. First prize in the Klein Competition includes US$10,000 and several concert appearances, including the one in the San Miguel Festival. The cash prize is endowed by long-time San Miguel resident Charlotte Kursh. Zhang’s program includes Beethoven, Paganini, Bach, Sarasate, Tchaikowsky and Alan Ridout.

14. TOKYO ENSEMBLE Reviews Tokyo Ensemble, directed by the violinist joji hattori, gave its debutat the Kioi Hall on the 30th April. The ensemble has 18 string http://www.tokyo-ensemble.com/eng/reviews.htm

Tokyo Ensemble, directed by the violinist Joji Hattori, gave its debut at the Kioi Hall on the 30th April. The ensemble has 18 string players, among them Choi Munsu, Tomoko Kawada, Sadao Harada, and Hiroshi Ikematsu, and are joined by wind players as necessary. In the opening Dvorak's Waltz, warm and velvety sound from the string section, characteristic of this ensemble, as well as the naturally secure intonation were already evident. This was followed by the commissioned work Two Fragments for Solo Violin and Quartet: Black and Yellow by the late Ikuma Dan which combined the enjoyment of Dan's easily accessible musical language with the visual entertainment of black-and-yellow costume. The third work Dvorak's String Quintet No.2 seemed less polished, however it left a potential for further experiment in programming - they are planning to continue incorporating chamber works in an orchestral concert. With the guest viola player Masao Kawasaki and Hattori himself as the soloists, the final work Sinfonia Concertante by Mozart was very enjoyable and full of lively spirit. Instead of trying to compete with each other's individual interpretations and techniques, the two soloists agreeably made their musical personalities come through and supported each other. This, together with very fine playing from the orchestra resulted in a pleasantly convincing performance. The concept of this newly established ensemble is to create an environment in which the performers and the audience are able to share the joy of ensemble playing: tonight's program successfully reflected this with its diversity of works included and the vitality evident throughout.

16. The Hindu : Vienna In Spring And so was the Vienna Chamber Orchestra conducted by joji hattori. Coordination waseffected superbly; the violinist conductor hattori led with strong bravura http://www.hindu.com/2001/04/02/stories/09020704.htm

Online edition of India's National Newspaper Monday, April 02, 2001 Front Page National Southern States Other States ... Previous Vienna in Spring THE MUSIC is familiar, easy and frothy but if it is also elegant, witty, sonorous, graceful and with the dark continuo of tragic sense, then it has to be Vienna. And so was the Vienna Chamber Orchestra conducted by Joji Hattori. Two feats difficult to achieve were performed with grace and distinction - the antiphon responses within the string groupings where ideas move back and forth and the lustrous full orchestral singing that begin and end the work. The encore disproved the adage that the best wine should not be served last. And proved another one, that only for the Viennese is the Blue Danube really blue. Hattori from Japan, with unbuttoned zest, introduced the Blue Danube Waltz with some fetching words and then unleashed glorious playing with precise ensemble and the lilt which is uniquely Viennese. Whereas in Mumbai the programme was repeated with dancers in ball gowns at a gala event, in Chennai we gave our own distinctive accolade when a famous Bharatanatyam dancer, spontaneously waltzed gracefully out of the hall, an embodiment of the grace and music of a Viennese evening.

DSCH in Tokyo in 1997 Part 2 (July to December, 1997) st July, 1997 (Saturday) at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space in Tokyo Conductor : Alan Gilbert Orchestra : The Tokyo Sympony Concert Master : Takumi Komoriya DSCH - Symphony No.10 in E minor, Op.93 (Alan Gilbert) Of the 15 symphonies DSCH composed, the No.10 Symphony is one of the most dramatic and large-scaled ones. DSCH had not written any symphonies for about 8 years since the No.9 in 1945. Probably he did not intentionally compose symphonies during that period because of Stalin and Stalinism in Russia but the main theme of the No.10 symphony is no doubt Stalin, who passed away in March, 1953, and it was completed on 27 th October, 1953. DSCH often showed his autographs "D.S.C.H." in this symphony. Mr. Alan Gilbert is well known and famous to Classical music lovers and regarded as one of promising young conductors. He conducted the symphony very energetically and the 3 rd and 4 th movements were excellent. I wish to listen to his DSCH's symphonies much more in the near future. He and The Tokyo Symphony performed A. Liadov's "The Enchanted Lade" OP.62 and S.Prokofiev's "Violin Concerto No.2 in G minor" Op.63 - Ms. Kyoko Takezawa - violin, too. Both were brilliant, Ms. Kyoko Takezawa in particular !

Next Sightings * SHE sat there swaying, singing and becoming totally one with the creator. Abida Parveen, along with other musicians from Iran and Lucknow, came together to sing at the Jahan-e-Khusrau festival organised by poet, film-maker and designer, Muzzafar Ali in Delhi recently. Said Ali of his latest venture, "This is the city of the great Sufi poet Amir Khusrau and I feel his aura and vibrations all over. So I thought of this idea." Of course Parveen stole the thunder as she sang. Ali said he invited her for the festival because it would enable people to know of and understand Khusrau. And Parveen? Thrilled at being part of the festival, she was the picture of grace and humility pointing out that music knew no boundaries. "Where there is music there is God," said Praveen. * IT was an unusual duo that flagged off a march against racism. When Pandit Ravi Shankar and his daughter Anoushka Shankar, played the role of activists protesting against racism, it was in the hope of inspiring people to sit up and notice and take a stance against this. Pt. Ravi Shankar, who is a good will ambassador for the U.N., released Hindi translations of three U.N. documents on the topic of racism. Admitting that it was a symbolic gesture to involve school children in the race, a U.N. official said that the idea behind including Anoushka was to inspire the younger generation.
