Shunsuke Sato, baroque violinist and artistic director of the Netherland Bach Society, will travel to Taiwan in mid-November to perform the classic Vivaldi's Four Seasons and several works from the baroque period with the Baroque Soloists Orchestra.

The Artistic Director of the Baroque Soloists said that over the years, the Baroque Soloists have been striving to collaborate with musicians of great renown, to connect a stable and sustainable international network by inviting international artists to perform and exchange, and to create a platform for dialogue with the world through cultural and artistic exchanges.

Since its founding in 2004, the Baroque Soloists Ensemble's greatest goal has been to promote the most exquisite Baroque music to the world through concert performances and album recordings, and publications.

The annual invitation of international masters to Taiwan to hold workshops and master classes and to tour together in high-class venues in the North, Middle, and South is an important indicator of the ensemble's annual artistic self-improvement, which also opens up its international reputation.

In addition to the release of the Bach D-inspired album and the concert tour of the same name in the first half of the year, the orchestra has invited the internationally renowned baroque violinist Shunsuke Sato to collaborate with the orchestra in the second half of the year in the concert "Dazzling Baroque".

With his exuberant voice and virtuosity, Shunsuke Sato will perform the most familiar Vivaldi Violin Concerto "The Four Seasons".

Shunsuke Sato was born in Tokyo, Japan, and immigrated to the United States when he was four years old. He studied at the Juilliard School in New York, modern violin with Gerard Poulet at the Conservatoire National de Paris, and Baroque violin with Mary Utiger at the Academy of Music and Theatre in Munich.

He now lives in the Netherlands, where he teaches at the Amsterdam Conservatory and is the artistic director of the Netherland Bach Society.

Toshiyuki Sato, who specializes in baroque violin and viola, received the Young Concert Artists award at the age of 12, the youngest recipient to date.

In 2010, he won the second prize and the audience award at the 17th International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition.

He has recorded and published dozens of albums to date and was the first violinist to perform and record the 24 Caprices for Paganini violin using lamb's gut strings and baroque bows.

In addition, he performs hundreds of concerts every year and has left many Baroque music performances and teaching videos, and has become one of the most important Baroque musicians in the world.

Shunsuke Sato is known for his unique and fascinating modern syntax in playing ancient instruments and interpreting Baroque music and is loved and supported as a solo musician, chamber musician, and teacher.

Performances will be held on November 11 at the Concert Hall of the National Arts and Culture Center in Weiwuying, Kaohsiung, on November 13 at the Grand Theater of the Chinese National Opera House, and on November 16 at the Sincere Performance Hall in Song Yan, Taipei.
