Yuriko Kuronuma, a renowned Japanese violinist based in Mexico, never gives up.
Kuronuma has reorganized the Mexico Music Festival, which commemorates 400 years of relations between Mexico and Japan. The event was scheduled to be held last May, but was canceled due to the H1N1 flu outbreak in Mexico then.
"We were about to leave for Japan," recalls Kuronuma. But the escalating situation made her fear about the return journey. "It was a painful choice to cancel the performance."
