What is an acousmonium?
It is an instrument for expressing the spatial movement of sound. By arranging many speakers in a venue, it creates dynamic power and spatial movement of sound throughout the venue. This performance does not require you to sit in a particular seat to enjoy the moving sound! AquaSmonium" was conceived so that even small children, who have difficulty sitting all the time, can enjoy listening to the sound. Please enjoy listening to music freely while chasing the sounds that move around the venue with your child.

Features of the concert
Not only music, but also art works using sound and images will be performed. There will be an event where participants are encouraged to write down their feelings and thoughts about the sounds playing in the venue in illustrations and share them with each other. After the concert, there will be an opportunity to try operating the AquaSmonium. Visitors will be able to enjoy the spatial expression of sound by touching the AquaSmonium, which is not easily seen in Japan. We hope you will not only appreciate the music, but also enjoy the expression of sound by touching the AquaSmonium.

Classical Concerts for Adults
The theme of this concert is the music developed during the 1970 Osaka Expo. The music will be performed to give you a sense of realism that can only be experienced by visiting the venue. I recommend this concert to anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge of classical music and feel an extraordinary experience at a concert!

This concert will focus on the music developed during the 1970 Osaka Expo. Osaka was the last land where classical music developed! In other words, Osaka is a sacred place for classical music.

Anthem 2
As a conductor and composer, no other classical musician of all time has contributed so much to the development of music. His achievements in new compositional techniques and the use of electronic technology to express music are among the best in the world.
Anthem 2" is a piece composed with violin and electronic technology. This genre of music that uses electronic technology in combination with live instruments is called "mixed music. The use of various technologies allows the audience to hear the sound of the violin in a way that is not possible with a live performance. Please enjoy the extraordinary performance and the sense of presence that you cannot experience unless you come and listen.

Untitiled "Gangneung"
During the 1970 Osaka Expo, many composers gathered in Osaka to experiment with various musical expressions. After the Expo, this activity became popular in the art world as an artistic expression that transcended the stereotypes of music, and installations and other works boomed, especially in the Kansai region. In this performance, art works will be performed on a new "musical instrument" using many speakers called an "acousmonium.

New Green - Kuninotokotachi
Music is basically made in the form of "do re mi faca solasido. However, with the development of recording and other technologies, classical musicians have come to consider everyday sounds, such as the sound of water and people talking, as musical material. The music created in this way is called "music concrete. This time, I, Tomonori Okada, will perform the world premiere of a composition I composed using this method. The theme is about Hiroshima and Kansai okonomiyaki! I hope you can feel the connection between the two regions by expressing the history of okonomiyaki through music.
