Hiroaki Yura

Yura Hiroaki is a Tokyo-born violinist, and the founder and artistic director of the Eminence Symphony Orchestra in Sydney, Australia. Throughout his career of a musician, he has collaborated with many artists and composers, and won several music competitions, including the 7th Etoh Toshiya International Violin Competition for Young Violinists and the Gisborne International Music Competition in New Zealand. He has also directed orchestral recordings for anime and video games.

Yura has been also involved in video game development: his company, Creative Intelligence Arts, announced its first video game project in 2013, titled Project Phoenix; however, it went into development hell. In 2017, another company founded by him, Area 35, released a video game titled Tiny Metal, and Yura was the game director in that project.
