Introduction

The Phantasia Ensemble  is a new musical collaboration that brings together the music and stories of  Japan and the British Isles. Japanese concert pianist Haruko Seki  and  British born soprano  Carollyn Eden draw on their very different cultural heritages, exploring both traditional music and stories, and treasured works by  composers and writers.   Both passionate about music's ability to cross cultural divides and draw  people together from the most different backgrounds, they celebrate the uniqueness and similarity between these two cultures so many miles apart.
