The Flute Quartet

It was formed in 1997 by four flute players from the Tokyo orchestra. Members at that time were Masahiro Aizawa (Tokyo Symphony Orchestra), Hiroaki Kanda (NHK Symphony Orchestra), Isao Shibata (Japan Philharmonic Orchestra), Yuki Omura (Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra). After Omura withdrew in 2006, Kazushi Saito (Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra) joined as a new member in 2007.
