about
Spark began in 1992 as a small ensemble group in the Tokyo University Flute Circle. The members, all graduates from Tokyo University, now live in various cities throughout Japan, from Kyoto to Hakodate. As a group they arrange music from a wide variety of genres from early music to Baroque, and classical contemporary to movie and popular music. Each of the players contributes special skills to the success of the group: Kyoto-based Yutaka Okawachi brings a virtuoso technique; Tokyo-based Hiroyoshi Koyano brings his talents as an arranger; Ibaraki-based Tomohisa Hirayama brings an eye and ear for precision; Tokyo-based Kazuya Fujimori brings an interest in jazz and a suitable groove to the group's performance of popular styles; and Takashi Matsuishi of Hakodate, Hokkaido brings a wealth of experience as an orchestral player, chamber musician and solo recording artist. In 1999, the flute ensemble Spark won (with full marks) the Grand Prix in the ensemble division of the Flute Competition, Japan.
