A native of Nara, Japan. Tamaki Kanaseki lived in the US for 15 years after being accepted at the prestigious Juilliard School of Music in New York to study under the great violinist Joseph Fuchs whose assistant he later became. He has learned not only the violin technique, but also ensemble and chamber music, because of the linier tradition of Joseph Fuchs, whose education would go back to the time of Johannes Brahms, Joseph Joachim and Joseph Hellmesberger in the 19th.century. The great Hanshin earthquake of 1995 was the motivation for Kanaseki to return to Japan. Realizing the healing power of music for those who had lost everything in the disaster, in May 1996 he came back to perform charity concerts in Kobe to benefit the victims of the earthquake.
Kanaseki’s solo recitals and chamber music concerts have thrilled audiences in the US, Japan, China and South America and he has performed concertos with orchestras such as the Osaka Philharmonic and Osaka Century Orchestra, the Jupiter Symphony in New York and Orquesta del Valle in Colombia. Numerous musical appearances on TV and Radio Shows include the NHK FM Recital.
In 1993, Kanaseki formed the acclaimed string ensemble La Strada, which actively performs all over Japan.
