Product description
This brief, beautiful collection was inspired by flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer. Miyabi is a Japanese aesthetic meaning “elegant” or “refined.” Ikeda interweaves Japanese modes and thoroughly modern harmonies throughout, resulting in a set of pieces that may be performed as a suite, or individually.
Naoko Ikeda lives in Sapporo, Hokkaido in northern Japan, and is passionate about introducing the world to her country's essence through music. Influenced by classical music, jazz and pop, as well as the piano works of William Gillock, her own music reflects her diverse tastes with beauty, elegance, and humor. Ms. Ikeda holds a piano performance degree from Yamaguchi College of Arts in Japan and currently maintains an energetic schedule as both teacher and composer.
