    Curator and owner of THE TORI COLLECTION, Tomoko Torii pursued her education
    in the arts in Japan, Europe, and the United States.  The daughter of three generations
    of classical music educators and art enthusiasts in Japan, Ms. Torii is internationally
    known for her myriad accomplishments in the areas of visual art, classical dance, music,
    and Ikebana.  In 1984, she was the first Japanese to coordinate and conduct a Kabuki
    workshop in English with Japan's leading Kabuki actor, Ishikawa Ennosuke.  In 1997,
    she was responsible for bringing forty masters of Ikebana to Philadelphia for
    participation in the annual Philadelphia Flower Show.  Current President of the Japanese
    Association of Greater Philadelphia and board member of the Japan America Society of
    Greater Philadelphia, Ms. Torii is a frequent speaker on Japanese art and culture.  In
    1999, she founded InterMusica, a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of
    cultural exchange through music.  The same love and knowledge of music that led her to
    office as InterMusica's President has placed Ms. Torii on the boards of the Philadelphia
    Opera Guild and the Mann Center for the Performing Arts.
