To listen to Ichiko Aoba is to be drawn into a world as intimate as a warmly lit home but cosmic in scale. The Japanese singer, songwriter, composer, and multi-instrumentalist is bringing her vision to our stage in April!

Aoba’s latest album, Luminescent Creatures, is the culmination of her nearly 15-year career—during which she’s collaborated with Japanese luminaries such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Haruomi Hosono, Cornelius, and more—and finds her deftly melding the jazz-infused-folk of her early albums with the orchestral world-building of her 2020 opus Windswept Adan.
