EN is a duo bound to Japan, music, and each other, and specializes in sharing contemporary and classical music from Japan. EN's philosophy is to connect - to their audience, the environment, and the moment. Based in Seattle, En plays throughout the Pacific Northwest, and has toured to the Midwest, East Coast, and to Japan.
John and Elizabeth met when they began studying Japanese in 1974. They fell in love with each other, then fell in love with Japan. Since then they have lived in Japan for over a decade, studying Japanese music from master teachers including Sakata Ryozan, Sawai Kazue, Sawai Tadao, and Igarashi Ryozan. Their love for Japanese music and culture comes alive in their warm, intimate, inspired performances. John's shakuhachi flute and Elizabeth's koto create an elegant and meditative mood. Their CD, EN: AFFINITY was released in 2005.

I know the Falconers; great folks, and their 13 year-old plays the Koto. Go figure.
If I lived closer, I'd come down. But they usually play about every month or so at a Tea House about 4 blocks from me.

Liz Falconer is a very wonderful koto player. Oddly, I didn't even know that John plays shakuhachi! I am glad they are performing together these days.

Plays it well too. Liz and Brian perform professionally. I think they call themselves Wasabi.
