Benten Hyakuyodo vol.14 Burning agitation

I feel like I've been repeating such a thing of late, grumbling "I wish summer would hurry up and be over" in the disgustingly hot and humid weather, but then regretting "Oh, I didn't get to enjoy summer again this year" when the weather cools down. I mean, I never expected to be stuck in that thing for three years in the first place...
I'm going to do a live concert to blow away such depressing feelings. Even if you don't know the song, you will be thrilled and excited when you hear the uplifting rhythm. Let's enjoy "Latin in the middle of winter"!

Benten Hyakudo" is a project started in 2003 as a "gathering place" to challenge ensembles of various compositions together with fellow musicians.
Under the call of a weekend-only viola player (the ringleader), many music lovers, including amateur orchestra members, colleagues and juniors at universities and workplaces, and family members, have participated in the project.

Since its inaugural performance in March 2004, the orchestra has held regular performances [at the main building] approximately once a year, although there was a four-year break in the middle of the season. The theme of each performance is different, and the music is characterized by a broad selection of both well-known and obscure pieces.
In parallel, the Annex series (from 2020), which focuses on specific composers and compositions, and the Annex series (from 2022), which specializes in string quartets, are being planned. A wider range of programs can now be accommodated.

Benten" refers to Benzaiten, who is revered as the god of music, eloquence, and wisdom. The name "Hyakkodo" is a reference to the department store that sells everything, a place where a wide variety of programs can be realized, and a gathering place for amateur musicians (i.e., "hima-jin").
