About Yoko:

New York-based visual artist and performer Yoko Sano boasts a two decade career specializing in pastel, acrylic paint and multimedia art. Born and raised in Japan, Sano grew up studying traditional Japanese painting techniques with artists Sayoko Terada and Somei Tsubouchi, before becoming a certified instructor at the Japan Pastel Nagomi Art Association. Since her first exhibition in Kamakura (2012), Sano has sold hundreds of works online and in-person at multiple events across Japan, including in Yokohama, Zushi, Hayama and Kamakura. As a teacher of pastel and other art mediums, Sano has worked with over a hundred students, both privately, online, through her video class on Class 101 and at workshops across Japan.

The pair have performed regularly online and in-person, including at Zushi Bunka Plaza’s Nagisa Hall and in California at the Soper Reese Theatre.

Click the link in our bio to reserve your seat now! 🎟️

About Ben:

Pianist, accordionist and composer Ben Rosenblum has traversed a truly unique musical path, one that has seen him perform alongside world-class musicians across more than twenty music genres and twenty-five countries, lead bands at prestigious venues across the world, all while maintaining a signature, melodic musical voice. Rosenblum’s journey has taken him on tours with Grammy-winning pop artist Rickie Lee Jones, Grammy-winning jazz vocalist Catherine Russell and Juno-winning contemporary Indian singer Kiran Ahluwalia. He’s played Brazilian choro with Ephrat Asherie Dance and Brazilian forró with The Late Night Show’s Nêgah Santos and famed forró band Forró in the Dark. His roots in jazz have led to an over ten-year relationship with Grammy-winning bassist Curtis Lundy, performing at festivals alongside jazz luminaries Bobby Watson, Sean Jones and Warren Wolf. He has appeared with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra on accordion, and as a guest soloist on piano at Carnegie Hall’s Stern-Perelman Auditorium. Throughout it all, Rosenblum has always maintained the same priority - to tell a compelling story with his music, reaching the hearts of his audience and connecting on an emotional, intellectual and spiritual level.

Rosenblum brings this wealth and diversity of experiences to his projects as a leader, overseeing a full tour schedule as a solo artist, with his trio and most recently, with his six-piece ensemble, the Nebula Project. Since his first album as a leader, Instead, he has since released three follow-up records to critical acclaim, including favorable reviews in almost every major jazz publication. Across multiple tours in Japan, Europe, Canada and the United States, Rosenblum has brought his bands to perform at some of the world’s most respected music venues.
