“Join us at the Gardens for an evening of music for Japanese koto and cello by Limonkoto.

Limonkoto is composed of two incredible musicians, Mary Lou Prince, koto, and Sarah Walder Amata, cello.

Mary Lou and Sarah bring the ethereal sounds of the koto together with the melodic richness of the cello in this unique performance.

Mary Lou lived in Japan for 24 years and received numerous commissions to compose new music for the koto. She was awarded national composition prizes for her music for koto and shakuhachi. Her music blends sounds of Japan with a bright contemporary classic style.

Sarah worked as a professional cellist in the Netherlands for 30 years. She brings an alluring and joyful performance style to her music. She has performed extensively in Europe, the United States and in several other countries.”
