About Shauno
About Shauno:
Shauno is a New Zealand-born and raised Japanese violinist/chamber musician. Soon after his graduation from the University of Auckland (Bachelor of Music Honors Degree), he quickly gained international attention through tours and invitations for concert performances in numerous countries over the globe and national tours under Chamber Music New Zealand. He is also the founding member and leader of the Mazzoli Trio.
Achievements:
He has had concerto appearances with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, the International Akaroa Music Festival Orchestra, and the University of Auckland Symphony Orchestra, the latter of which he has also been the concertmaster.
He is a prize winner in competitions including the Salzburg Grand Prize Virtuoso International String Competition (Winner), 2014, 2015, and 2016 Chamber Music New Zealand Music Society Competition (Winner), KBB/APO National Young Performers Competition (Winner), American Fine Arts Festival International Competition (Winner), University of Auckland Graduation Gala Concerto Competition (Winner), the Australian International Music Festival (Gold Award), Pettman Concerto Auckland Competition (Winner); etc.
His international competition success has brought him invitations to perform in Austria & Italy in 2016 and the Weill Recital Hall – Carnegie Hall in 2017. He is also a recipient of the Dame Malvina Foundation Arts Excellence Award, the Carl Alberta Rosenfeldt Prize, and the Birmingham Wallace Emerging Artists Prize.
Concert Tours:
His recent tours include the Tsunami Violin Concert Tour held in New Zealand, which attracted a full house audience in the Auckland Town Hall Concert Chamber. This was a 100% charity concert tour presented by Shauno and his older brother and pianist Kent Isomura, dedicated to the victims of the 2011 Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, which featured an all-Japanese composer program. The tour in New Zealand was followed by a tour in Japan, which was held in Tokyo, Hokkaido, Yamada-machi, Naoshima, and in the Okayama Renaiss Hall where they performed a joint recital together with Hiroko Kondo – Concert Mistress of Okayama Philharmonic Orchestra. Shauno has also toured with Chamber Music New Zealand in 2016 as the leader of the Pettman Quintet alongside the New Zealand String Quartet in the Quintessence tour and then in 2018 touring as the Mazzoli Trio. He was most recently engaged as a residency artist at the Capital Normal University Conservatory of Music, South China Normal University School of Music, and South China University of Technology School of Music, holding seminars, workshops, masterclasses, and recitals of music by Japanese, Chinese, and New Zealand composers.
Collaborations and Premieres:
Shauno has a great passion for contemporary music and has made collaborations with numerous composers including Missy Mazzoli (USA), Elena Kats-Chernin (AUS), Michiru Oshima (Japan), Benyamin Nuss (GER), Gao Ping (CHN), World premiere of works by Yao Chen (China), Xu Tang (NZ), Noriyuki Iwadare (Japan) and New Zealand premieres of music by Japanese composers Yasushi Akutagawa, Akira Ifukube, Kuniyuki Takeuchi, Takayuki Hattori among others.
Notable non-classical works, concerts and releases:
Outside of classical music, Shauno is quickly building a career as a soundtrack composer. In 2021, he made his debut co-composing alongside Japanese composer legend Noriyuki Iwadare on Godshard Chronicles and since then, he has been responsible for composing several soundtracks from Japan and USA. After only 3 years of activity, Shauno's music was already heard at one of the largest gaming conventions in the world, the TOKYO GAME SHOW 2024 and in 2025 for the upcoming video game「Catharsis -the last of atelier-」.
Alongside his classical activities, he has been involved in a number of non-classical projects and has a strong interest in Japanese video game music.

Whether you are thinking of persuing a career in music or want to learn for hobby, I am here to help! :)
I have over 10 years of teaching experience since my gradation at university, teaching from beginners to university entrance levels, children to adults, classical to pop music.
While I am an active classical concert violinist I have a fast growing career on commercial music, working as a recording artist and composer for soundtracks in Japan, Singapore, USA, Germany and Australia. So I am also able to provide guidance on making a living with music if you like! :D I am also open to teaching non-classical repertoire as well such as pop, and anime music.
The Japanese word for Music is constructed with two characters 'enjoyment' and 'sound', and I believe that it is not music unless someone is enjoying the process. I always keep this in mind when I teach!
