Japanese-born, Australian-based flautist Masahide ‘Kuri’ Kurita won first prize in the prestigious All Japan Student Music Competition in Tokyo in 1992. He subsequently took lessons with the legendary Sir James Galway, who became his mentor. Kuri is recognised for his highly polished technique, rich tone, and depth and clarity of musical expression.
He is joined by Adam Przewlocki, who enjoys an illustrious career as a concert pianist and chamber musician, and is one of Australia’s leading show choir directors.
