西川浩平Kohei NISHIKAWA, born in 1953, is an eminent Japanese flutist, with a long creative career opened to the world, the result of a double training in classical and traditional fields, a rarity in Japan. He is principal flutist at the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra at the start of his musical life, and then starts an important career as a traditional flutist, with the bamboo transverse flutes, to accompany the classical traditional dance Nihon-buyô and Kabuki.
In parallel he orders new pieces to some of the Japanese and foreigner composers in order to open the repertoire of those flutes traditionally compartmentalized in their traditional role at the theater, which he makes recordings of with the CD label “live notes” under the title «Flutist from the East, Kohei Nishikawa».
In order to promote his instruments and the Japanese music to a larger public, from 2003 he starts to teach his instruments in different universities in Tôkyô, publishes several books, is invited, performs and does master-classes abroad including in Canada, in Europe.
