Since graduating from the Tokyo College of Music, composer Yoko Sato has been based in Tokyo, incorporating intercultural Western and Japanese musical elements, as well as aesthetics, into her works. She holds a doctoral degree in music composition from the University of Hawai‘i and was a recipient of an East-West Center Graduate Degree Fellowship.

Her pieces for traditional Japanese, as well as other Asian instruments, have been commercially released in Japan and in the United States, including a CD that features her compositions for the shamisen. She has also composed several operettas commissioned by regional governments to promote musical activities for the local Japanese communities.

Her recent research interests focus on deepening the musical exchange to enhance a mutual understanding and cultivate friendships among people in different cultures and societies. Towards the Ancient Paeckche (2014) was premiered by a Korean-Japanese joint traditional orchestra and she continues her association with the Center for Reconciliation at the Duke Divinity School, where she conducted her dissertation research.
