Sculptures was nominated for THREE 2024 GRAMMY® Awards

I was pleased to record the world premiere of Sculptures with the Omaha Symphony at the Holland Performing Arts Center in March 2023. Composed by GRAMMY® nominee Andy Akiho, this groundbreaking orchestral work was commissioned by the Omaha Symphony in honor of Ree and Jun Kaneko and serves as a stunning musical tribute to Jun's artistry. Kaneko's prolific sculptures inspire this one-of-a-kind recording and features his artwork as a unique instrument.

This live event was conducted by Music Director Ankush Kumar Bahl, performed by the Omaha Symphony, and featured multimedia created by Andy Akiho.
