WESTON, Vt. – The Sundays on the Hill Concert Series Committee is so delighted to have Hiroya Tsukamoto perform on Aug. 11, in the Old Parish Church, on Route 100, in Weston, Vt., at 4 p.m.
Tsukamoto is an innovative guitarist and composer who fuses together folk, jazz, and world music through a blend of masterful fingerstyle guitar and evocative storytelling that transcends cultural barriers. Born and raised in Kyoto, Japan, he received a scholarship to Berklee College of music and came to the U.S.
Tsukamoto’s instrumental abilities are breathtaking, but his performances are so much more than that. He has the unique capability of engaging an audience with his personable and genuine approach, transfixing and transcending his capabilities as a guitarist.
Tsukamoto has been recognized for his talents on stages, such as at Blue Note in New York City, Japanese National Television (NHK), International Storytelling Center, and United Nations, and by scoring second place at the International Fingerstyle Guitar Championship both in 2018 and 2022.
