Katsumi Cain Yokoyama (Composition, Piano)

Katsumi Cain Yokoyama started composition as self-taught, then later studied with Takehiko Yamada and Chaya Czernowin.
Won the "Akiyoshidai 20th Music Seminar & Festival Composition Prize" and the "Performing Arts Creation Award of the Japanese Agency of Cultural Affairs".
Participated in "The Japan Project", the ongoing collaboration series with Barrie Webb and Japanese composers, since 1999. Their recent collaboration, "Requiem...ad Vitam Aeternam" for trombone solo, composed by Yokoyama for the victims of Northern-East-Japan Earthquake, has been given several performances including the World premiere in Tokyo on 2016/3/11, the 5th anniversary of the disaster. 
A CD recording was published on Trombone Classics (UK). The celebrated American trombonist Professor Stuart Dempster described the work as "powerful in just the right way for the memorial tribute intention".  Loredana BALTAZAR wrote in her review on Requiem...ad vitam aeternam, "Just as Neo, the character of the movie "The Matrix", composer Cain Katsumi Yokoyama is a riot."
