Never one to get grow too comfortable as a musician, Peter Zisa continues to explore and stretch the boundaries of classical guitar. Most recently, his explorations have taken him in the direction of the far east, and specifically, Japan.
Beginning in the winter of 2007, Zisa began collaborating with Yukiko Vossen, a Portland-based koto player, and a performance by Zisa and Vossen was featured as part of the first Season of Lights concert that year. Over the course of 2008, Zisa and Vossen have continued to collaborate in performances all throughout the Metro-Portland region and have steadily built enough of a repertoire that they decided it was time to commit some of their collaborative energies to producing a recording of their work together this past year.
As of this writing, work on the West Meets East recording featuring Yukiko Vossen on the Koto continues and is nearing completion. Continue to visit PeterZisa.com for more information on this exciting collaboration by two masters of their respective musical arts, the classical guitar and the koto.
