Profile

Haruyo Tsurusaki, Violin
After graduating from Tokyo University of the Arts, studied abroad in Paris. In 1978, he joined the Orchester National de Lyon, France. He regularly appears in chamber music concerts of the Orchester de Lyon. Starting with concerts of chamber music works by Japanese composers such as Toru Takemitsu and Ichiro Nodaira, he has performed various chamber music such as string quartets, quintets, and piano quintets. In 2018, he retired from the orchestra. Launched in 2015, he plans and manages a chamber music series in his hometown of Chaponot, and he himself performs concerts centered on string quartets with his friends from the Orchester de Lyon.
In May of this year, he organized a school-sponsored concert in which first graders narrated Poulenc's "Little Elephant Babar Story" (composed for piano, violin, cello, and saxophone), which was very well received.
He studied under Moriyasu Iso Kimi, Yozo Iwasaki, Joseph Calvet, and Gérard Poulet.

Mr. and Mrs. Tsurusaki have been musical companions since Tokyo University of the Arts, and have performed in Germany, France, and Japan with quartets and trios.

Naoki Tsurusaki, violoncello (cello)
70 years old this year. It has been 12 years since I retired from the Lyon National Opera in 2011. The zodiac has turned around. Using a 5-string cello commissioned by Mr. F. Cuyken and a late baroque bow made by Mr. C. Ryder in Paris this year, a pleasant baroque life began. There are those who say baroque no matter what, and those who play baroque because it's fashionable. I enjoy playing equal temperament and Beethoven piano sonatas as fast as I can (so very slowly) in my spare time. The composition is poor. S. Lee's "40 Melodic Etude" supervised and composed and arranged for the second cello accompaniment will be published from Zenon Music Publishing in August. A video created by Mr. Fumiaki Kono will be released on YouTube soon. On March 23rd (Sat) next year, a Bach unaccompanied recital will be held at Opera City. Studied the cello under Noriyuki Miki, Reine Frachaud, and Maurice Gendron.
