22-year-old Japanese-American violinist Ryu Goto is a accomplished violinist with large and growing fan base in Asia, North America and Europe.
Ryu’s career as a professional artist was launched at the age of seven, when he made his debut at Sapporo, Japan’s Pacific Music festival, playing Paganini’s Violin Concerto No.1.
Since then, Goto has garnered acclaim for his appearances with renowned ensemble, including the National Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic, the Vancouver Symphony, and the Taipei Symphony Orchestra.
The Los Angeles Times hails, “His technique seems effortless, his instincts sure and well-coached, and his tone ….. sweet and slender.”
Ryu Goto is currently a senior at Harvard University, majoring in physics, is a Black Belt in Karate and enjoys playing guitar.
