Annabelle. A. Nishimura
1982-2008
Annabelle於2008年10月1日下午1點搭乘自有轎車前往中正國際機場，預計參加與指揮家肯特.中野合作的北美洲巡迴演出。途中不幸因交通事故導致腦部重創，經搶救後，一度恢復心跳，仍因嚴重顱內出血併發腦水腫宣告不治，於2008年10月2日台北時間下午4點37分過世，得年26歲。
我們將在2008年12月1日上午9點於台北聖家堂舉行葬禮彌撒，邀請眾親朋好友前往，為Annabelle短暫卻多彩的人生作最後的見證。
儀式結束後，Annabelle將長眠於東京青山墓園，常伴父親旁側。
生平
1982年5月30日Annabelle出生於法國里昂，為三胞胎中的長姐。父親於御巢鷹山空難(JAL123 crash)中過世，隨著母親改嫁遷居台灣。Annabelle愛戀美好的事物，對生命充滿熱情，一生追求人類性靈的高等境界。若說靈魂的本質是純真與愛，無疑地，在她短短26年的生命當中，作了最好的詮釋。
Annabelle的音樂教育啟蒙於鋼琴家的母親，受教於紐約茱莉亞音樂院、德國柏林藝術大學。遺傳雙親的音樂天賦，自幼展現過人音樂才華，獲獎無數，奠定日後成為職業演奏家的基礎。
正式展開職業獨奏家生涯前，曾經在德國柏林愛樂擔任客席樂手，演奏足跡遍及北美洲、歐洲與亞洲，與許多優秀樂團與指揮家合作演出。2008年與日本EMI簽定錄音合約，演奏事業平步青雲。此外，個性活潑喜愛結識朋友的Annabelle還曾經短期擔任CHANEL台灣分公司的主管助理。這段與不同生活模式的人群互動的記憶，日後成為Annabelle相當重要的音樂靈感來源。
世界正注意著她的才華與娟秀靈動的東方氣韻，上帝卻別有安排。
車禍事故瞬間，她以脆弱的軀體保護樂器與樂譜。致命的內傷無情地摧殘嬌柔的生命，2008年10月2日下午，她以安靜絕美的姿態告別，離開摯愛的父母、弟妹、未婚夫、工作夥伴與朋友。
或許在Annabelle的心中，仍有許多想做的事情，然而在上帝眼中，作為一個人間天使，Annabelle已經完成了她的使命。請不要忘了Annabelle的音樂的美好，與她的善良與溫柔。她會是一顆珍珠，迴繞在上帝頸間，優雅地綻放她的光芒。

Biography
Annabelle was born on May 30th, 1982, in Leon, France as the eldest sister of triplets. Her father passed away in the JAL 123 crash in Osaka in 1985, and she moved to Taiwan following her mother’s remarriage. Annabelle loves all things beautiful, is passionate about living, and spent her life pursuing the highest ground in human nature. If the soul’s essence is purity and love, Annabelle was the living proof in her 26 years among us.
The beginning of Annabelle’s musical career was from her mother the pianist. She was educated in New York’s Juilliard School and the Berlin University of the Arts. With music written into her genes, she displayed exceptional musical talent and garnered countless awards since her youth, and built the foundation for her career as a professional performer.
Prior to debuting as a soloist, Annabelle was a guest performer in the Berliner Philharmoniker. Her footsteps were spread all over North America, Europe, and Asia, collaborating with many of the world’s greatest symphony orchestras and conductors. She signed a recording contract with EMI Japan in 2008, signaling her meteoric rise to success. Additionally, Annabelle worked at Chanel Taiwan as an administrative assistant for a short period. To the outgoing girl who loved making friends, this diverse experience became a great source for musical inspirations.
The world was just starting to take notice of Annabelle’s talents and vibrant Oriental energy, but God had another plan.
At the very instant of the traffic accident, she tried to protect her musical instrument and her scores. Her fragile body was inevitably ravaged by fatal internal injuries. On the afternoon of October 2nd, she bid the world farewell in a quiet, beautiful manner.
Perhaps there were still many things Annabelle wanted to do, but in God’s eyes, as an angel on Earth, she had already accomplished her mission. Please do not forget the beauty of Annabelle’s music, her kindheartedness, and her sweet nature. She will be a pearl around God’s neck, gracefully exuding her brilliance.
Annabelle set out for the CKS airport on October 1, 2008 at 1 o'clock in the afternoon planning to perform in a tour through North America with conductor Kent Nakano. On her way, she was caught in an unfortunate accident that dealt a strong blow to her head, causing severe brain hemorrhaging and swelling. She succumbed to her injuries on October 2, 2008, 4:37 p.m. at the age of 26.
We humbly invite her dear fiends and loved ones to the Holy Family Catholic Church in Taipei for her funeral mass on December 1, 2008 at 9 a.m. to celebrate Annabelle's short yet colorful life. She will be laid to eternal rest beside her father in Aoyama Cemetery in Tokyo.
Her Life Story
Annabelle was born in Lyon, France on May 30, 1982, the eldest of three daughters. After her father lost his life in a plane crash in Osu Takayama, she followed her mother and moved to Taiwan. Annabelle loved many things, lived life with a deep passion, and pursued the purest expression of humanness all her life. If a soul is sincere and loving, then Annabelle doubtlessly exemplified those qualities in her short 26 years of life.
Annabelle's artistry in music first began with her mother who was a pianist, then continued at The Juilliard School and Berlin University of the Arts in Germany. Inheriting her parents' gift for music, she had always exhibited an outstanding artistic talent, winning numerous awards, and establishing what would later be the foundations of her professional career.
Before starting her career as a soloist, she previously performed in the Berlin Philharmonic, leaving her mark in North America, Europe, and Asia in many renowned musical ensembles. In 2008, she signed a recording contract with EMI Music Japan that greatly enhanced her career. She not only was outgoing and loved making new friends, but also was an assistant to manager at CHANEL Taiwan. It was this experience that gave her an opportunity to interact with others from every walk of life, which later served as a significant source of her musical inspiration.
The world was going to witness her artistry, her beauty, and her spirit, yet God made special plans for her.
In the moment of the accident, her fragile body tightly held her instrument and her music. Her injuries took her delicate life on that October afternoon, quietly and solemnly bidding goodbye; and leaving her loving mother, her sisters, her fiancé, her colleagues, and her friends.
Perhaps Annabelle kept many things in her heart that she wished to accomplish; but in God's eyes, she was an angel who had already accomplished her mission.
Remember her music, remember her kindness, and remember her warmth.
