Violinist Ayako Ishikawa, whose brilliant career includes graduating at the top of the National Sydney Conservatorium of Music and who captivates audiences with flawless virtuosity, will appear at Billboard Live. For this two-city tour, carrying an album to be released on May 2, and as the album title STRADIVARIUS GIFT indicates, she features her current partner—the 'bewitching instrument' Stradivarius, an instrument that only a limited number of musicians in the world are permitted to possess. Not only for its timbre but also for the history and background that have produced numerous renowned performances, this famed instrument's resonance, together with her deft playing, envelops the venue. Do not miss her stage, aiming for a 'Violin Concert That Won't Let You Sleep'—a performance in which you won't be able to blink.
