Kiyoshi Shomura, Mark Grouwels, and Sara Kobayashi 2026 in Japan Ticket

Overview

This exceptional concert series brings together three virtuosos for a rare instrumental and vocal collaboration: the legendary Japanese classical guitarist Kiyoshi Shomura, the world-renowned Belgian flutist Marc Grauwels, and the acclaimed Japanese soprano Sara Kobayashi. Together, they explore a sophisticated repertoire that spans from the Baroque elegance of Handel to the fiery tangos of Piazzolla, all reimagined through the intimate textures of guitar, flute, and voice.

The performance highlights the unique chemistry between these artists, featuring solo spotlights and intricate trio arrangements. Kiyoshi Shomura’s mastery of the guitar provides a rich harmonic foundation for Grauwels’ expressive flute—an instrument for which Piazzolla famously dedicated works—while Sara Kobayashi’s lyrical soprano adds a profound emotional layer to this “unusual arrangement” that promises a truly one-of-a-kind musical experience.
