Nobu's world is always expanding. Her passion "to enjoy music with every person in the world", combined with a strong foundation and flexibility, enables her to converse musically with great artists from Asia to Europe to the Middle East. Now based in New York City, Nobu is an active flute and shinobue (Japanese bamboo flute) performer and teacher. She is a member of the Medina Tenour Trio (bossa nova /singer-songwriter) and various other projects performing her own and others' works. In the UK, she has performed with the Arabic ‘oud master Ahmed Mukhtar, as well as the UK’s premier Japanese drumming group Taiko Meantime. Her performances include concerts at the Brunei Gallery (SOAS), City of London Festival, London Marathon, and Star Pine’s Cafe, Tokyo. In 2007, she wrote and performed music for the Wayward Spaniel Theatre Production’s “Mr. Whippendale…” at Shunt, London Bridge and the English Theatre of Bruges in Belgium. Nobu is also an active educator. In addition to teaching flute privately, she promotes traditional Asian music in schools, creative learning for kids, and has also worked in diversity education. Nobu studied flute performance with Thomas Robertello and Kate Lukas at Indiana University, Bloomington (USA) and ethnomusicology at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS, University of London, UK). www.nobuflute.com User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
