Event information

Yoko Miura is a pianist currently living in Fukuoka, Japan. Born in Tokyo, she started studying classical piano from the age of 5 and later became interested in jazz and improvised music.

“I am trying to make a kind of different universes interweaving and exchanging with different process, values and ways, with people, not only the musicians but also painters and dancers”.

She has performed and recorded with many players including Gianni Mimmo John Russell, Lawrence Casserley, Jean-Michel Van Schouwburg, Mia Zabelka, Stefan Keune Charlie Collins, the Glasgow Improvisors Orchestra and many more.

He has created structured improvisations for performance in the UK and Canada featuring leading players in both countries and is making a welcome return to working with dance building a project with Mim King.

He was a founding member of the Brighton Safehouse collective.
