June 3, 2026We were delighted to welcome the Koto Trio to our church's AANHPI Heritage Month celebration on May 31. During our fellowship time and Taste of Asia pop-up meal, the trio shared their extraordinary musical gifts and created a truly memorable experience for our congregation and guests.
Dressed in beautiful traditional Japanese kimonos, the musicians brought both elegance and cultural richness to the event. Their instruments were stunning, and the music they performed was absolutely gorgeous—peaceful, uplifting, and captivating. The trio also presented a mini concert in our courtyard, which was one of the highlights of the afternoon.
Their performance added a meaningful and authentic cultural dimension to our celebration and provided a wonderful way to conclude AANHPI Heritage Month. We are deeply grateful for their talent, professionalism, and the joy they brought to our community. We highly recommend the Koto Trio for any cultural, community, or special event.

September 22, 2023Saeko and Sakura came to our library and performed a wonderful array of classic and contemporary koto music. They went the extra mile by preparing an educational presentation to accompany their music about the koto and the history of the chosen songs. They even got the audience to participate by having a fun group "quiz" and allowing audience members to come touch the kotos afterwards. They provided everything a library could ask for. I would highly recommend them!
