Award winning pianist HiromiUehara has been playing since age six.

HPR’s Noe Tanigawa reports Hiromiwill be at the Blue Note Waikiki this week, performing her unique combination of jazz, pop and classical music from that album, Spark.
Hiromi performs with her trio through Saturday, 3/18, 2017 at the Blue Note Waik?k?.
“Every single thing in life starts from a single spark.”
Pianist Hiromi says when emotions are moved, things can happen. Her album, Spark, is an energized soundtrack to where a spark can lead.
“Music purifies every emotion. When it’s filtered through music, every emotion kind of gets reworded, including negative feelings. There’s no one who wants to go through sad events but people listen to sad songs.
Hiromi mixes jazz, pop and classical genres, her trio project features a jazzy bassist and a rock drummer.
“Walking down the same street every day, it’s up to you if you can realize that dandelion bloomed just today on the street corner. Find that spark!”
Whatever it takes!
