Violinist Keiko Tokunaga plans to join the Sebago-Long Lake Music Festival this summer as it celebrates its 50th season at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays, July 19, 26 and August 2, at the Deertrees Theatre, at 156 Deertrees Road in Harrison. She is one of 24 artists from all over the USA who will perform with the Festival this summer. She performed with the festival for the first time in 2016.

Tokunaga spends most of her days touring and performing around the world as a soloist and chamber musician. In 2021, as her “pandemic project,” she founded an online concert series, Jukebox Concerts, to provide artistic outlets for musicians who have lost their engagements. The performances were available not only to subscribers, but also to residents of nursing homes, hospitals and child care facilities across the country. Later in the year, she founded INTERWOVEN, a multicultural ensemble whose mission is to eliminate discrimination against the AAAPI (Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander) community by integrating the musical traditions of East and West.

Currently teaching at Fordham University, Tokunaga also taught at the Juilliard School’s undergraduate department between 2008 and 2019.

The Sebago-Long Lake Music Festival will hold concerts at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays at Deertrees Theater between July 12 and August.
