It’s the beginning of June: a significant month for Tomoko, starting with her birthday. Here is a sampling of her achievements.
That was the month she graduated from the San Francisco
Conservatory of Music; two weeks later (June 18) she performed at the Conservatory’s
graduation recital.
Five years later in June she performed at the Long Mountain
College Theater.
In 1989 on June 15 Tomoko performed at the Conservatory again,
this time with Ernestine Chihauria on violin and Dianne Winsor on flute.
In 2015 on June 14 she held a recital at the Conservatory for
your 50th anniversary of her role as a teacher there: the first
Asian. The event raised money for the Conservatory as her legacy. She performed
for the first have and invited past students to perform for the second half.
