He won in numerous competitions\, becoming a renowned performer in the traditional Japanese music scene since his youth. His reputation grew as he incorporated genres such as jazz and rock into his music\, and made his major debut in 2001. \n\nShowMore on Hiromitsu Agatsuma here \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nSatoru Shionoya \nPianist/Composer/Producer \nSatoru Shionoya studied music composition at Tokyo University of the Arts. While he was still a student he started his 10 year career as the pianist of the Japanese salsa band Orquesta De La Luz (1986-1996). The group won the United Nations Peace Medal in 1993 and was a U.S. Grammy Award nominee in 1995.

The music and sound expressed in their first album “AGA-SHIO” (Avex\, 2009) are a completely new style of Japan-originated contemporary music which entails strong energy that Japanese folk music produces as well as the consistency performed by piano. \nAGA-SHIO has toured not only in Japan but also in Europe and Africa in 2010 (Germany\, Czech\, Egypt\, France\, Spain\, Congo\, South Africa) and in Europe in 2014 (Czech\, France\, Italy\, Germany\, Hungary). \nGenerously Supported By: \n\nMedia Sponsors: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \nClick here to purchase tickets online or call JCCC here: 416.441.2345 \n
