He is one of the rising stars of new music in Europe and has had performances by major symphonies, opera companies, and chamber ensembles throughout the world. Composition faculty member Stephen Jones organized a stunning performance of Fujikura’s flute concerto (chamber version) with the BYU Group for New Music, featuring music performance major Catherine Winters on flute, and conducted by composition major Nicolas Ayala. Fujikura worked closely with the students and was truly impressed by their performance. He presented a Barlow Lecture and also met with students in private composition lessons. It was great to become better acquainted with his music and get a glimpse of what’s happening with new music in Europe.
