上田纯子，出生于日本东京，是一位享誉国际的萨摩琵琶[1]演奏家与声明[2]唱诵家，致力于将日本古老音韵带入当代舞台。师从鹤田流萨摩琵琶大师鹤田锦史与天台声明大师海老原广伸，从东京音乐大学作曲科毕业的她（师从有马礼子、汤浅让二、池野成等名家），融汇东西方音乐精髓，创造深邃动人的艺术表达。
以欧洲、日本为基地，上田纯子在全球各大音乐节举办音乐会、工作坊及跨界合作项目。她发行的《平家物语》、《萨摩琵琶》等专辑在欧洲荣获多项殊荣。她也致力于推广声明文化，发行相关专辑与著作，并开设声明工作坊，引导全球参与者体验拥有 1200 年历史的佛教诵经旋律与呼吸智慧。
她曾与长笛演奏家 Wil Offermans、大提琴家马友友、荷兰新合奏团等国际知名音乐家与乐团同台演奏，也与 Jean-Claude Eloy、原田敬子、内田明美等作曲家深度合作，参与即兴音乐项目，推动传统乐器的现代表达。她尤其擅长演绎日本作曲家武满彻为琵琶创作的曲目。近年，上田纯子与法国前卫摇滚乐队 PoiL 跨界合作，在传统与现代音乐的对话中开辟新天地。
[1] 萨摩琵琶起源于日本九州鹿儿岛（古称萨摩藩），16 世纪由武士阶层推动发展。其琴身较传统琵琶更大、木质更坚硬，音色浑厚刚劲，常用于演绎英雄史诗。其于 20 世纪曾一度衰落，后经鹤田锦史等艺术家复兴，成为现代日本重要传统乐器。萨摩琵琶叙事传统是日本代代相传的文化瑰宝。
[2] 声明是佛教仪式中的声乐形式，其历史可追溯至印度，后经中国、朝鲜半岛传入日本，成为日本传统音乐的核心组成部分。它以经文吟诵为基础，融合旋律与呼吸智慧，深刻影响了日本雅乐、能乐等世俗艺术。
A musical performance of Junko Ueda extends Japanese ancient sound into modern times.
Junko Ueda, born in Tokyo, Japan, is a Japanese singer and satsuma-biwa player, presenting Japanese traditional biwa music(story-telling) and shomyo[2] Buddhist chanting. Ueda studied satsuma-biwa with the famous Kinshi Tsuruta (Tsuruta-ryu style) as well as Buddhist shomyo-chanting with Koshin Ebihara. She studied composition at the Tokyo College of Music(under Reiko Arima, Joji Yuasa, Sei Ikeno).
Ueda is based in Europe/Japan and has presented her concert, workshop and other collaborations at music festivals all over the world. Her traditional biwa CDs L’épopée des Heike and Satsuma Biwa have received several prizes in Europe. She is also committed to promoting shomyo culture, releasing related albums and literary works, as well as conducting workshops, where participants from around the world explore the wisdom and power of breath through engaging with the 1200-year-old melodies of shomyo.
She has cooperated with internationally-renowned musicians, such as flutist Wil Offermans, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, the Dutch Nieuw Ensemble, and composers like Jean-Claude Eloy, Keiko Harada, and Akemi Naito. Ueda is also specialized to perform the pieces for biwa by Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu. In recent years, Junko Ueda has collaborated with the French progressive rock band PoiL, carving out new frontiers in the dialogue between traditional and modern music.
[1] The Satsuma Biwa originated in Kagoshima, Kyushu (historically known as the Satsuma Domain), Japan. Promoted by the samurai class during the 16th century, it features a larger body and harder wood compared to traditional biwa, producing a deep and powerful tone ideal for performing heroic epics. Though it declined in the 20th century, artists like Nishiki Tsuruta revived its status as a modern cultural icon. The satsuma-biwa story-telling tradition is a unique musical treasure which has been passed on from generation to generation.
[2] Shomyo is a form of Buddhist vocal music originating in India, later spreading to Japan via China and the Korean Peninsula. Rooted in liturgical chanting, it combines melodic patterns with meditative breath control, serving both religious rituals and influencing secular arts like Noh theater and Gagaku.
