At home between Zurich and Tokyo, Hitomi Niikura enjoys the multifaceted life as an artist. Since 2014 she has been deputy chairman of the Principal cellist with the Camerata Zurich. She also performs regularly with the well-known klezmer band "Cheibe Balagan". With her she has participated in numerous music festivals and is constantly expanding her musical horizons. Together with the fashion label JILL STUART and the Japanese luxury department store ISETAN Mitsukoshi, she designed dresses for female musicians and concertgoers in 2016, a project that was extremely well received by critics. In August 2017, the documentary "Cellist Hitomi Niikura: Playing with the Wind" was broadcast on the national television station Fuji TV.

Hitomi plays a cello by Matteo Goffriller cello (built in 1710), on loan from the Munetsugu Collection.
