Tomohiro Ishii - Seifert Competition 2024

TOMOHIRO ISHII (Japan)
A violinist and composer from a musical family, he took up the instrument at barely four years of age. Classically educated since childhood, he has won multiple awards and distinctions in national and international violin competitions. During his studies at the Tokyo University of the Arts he was drawn to jazz, which naturally led to a development of his own personal language of improvisation. His adventure with composing music began in the same period. Ishii is a co-founder of Less is More String Quartet and the founder of Mi Mi Mi Records. He also writes music for the cinema and arranges pop numbers for other performers.
