Trio EAPOS (East Asian Pool of Sound) is an exciting new fusion group bringing together the sonorities and patterns of three highly distinctive instruments from three different countries. Naoko Kikuchi plays the Japanese koto zither, Hong Yu the Korean daegeum flute, and Wu Wei the Chinese sheng mouth organ. Each is a celebrated master in their art, spanning a huge range of styles both ancient and modern. At the same time, they strive to push the boundaries of tradition, generating fresh new sounds through inter-cultural collaboration.
