Biography
Eusia String Quartet was formed in Chicago in September 2000. Ms. Yuko Mori, a former violin professor at the Chicago College of Performing Arts, brought the members of the quartet together. The members share a common background in musical training and ensemble playing in Nagaokakyo Chamber Ensemble in Kyoto, Japan, and their name EUSIA is a hybrid of the three continents the quartet members represent. Mr. Tateno is from Helsinki, Finland and Mr. Zitoun from Paris, France (EUrope). Ms. Ogura is from Nara and Mr. Takagi is from Osaka on the west side of Japan (aSIA). The quartet is based in Chicago (eUSiA). In 2001, they won the Gold Medal at the Fischoff Chamber Music Competition, and they perform regularly in Japan, Finland, and the U.S. They recorded the Korngold piano quartet in Helsinki last summer for AVEX Classics, and are also featured on the recently released Takemitsu Book and CD.
