diversEnsemble Concert #4

There is an emotion that can only be experienced in a live performance.
The Cyberbird Concerto is the pinnacle of contemporary concertos, a triumvirate challenge.
The vivid sound of the Cyberbird Concerto will be a flash of light that will vividly rewrite the chaos and inorganic connections that dominate our time.
which is dominated by chaos and inorganic connections.

This will be the fourth concert in which the soloists have selected a concerto as the main piece for each performance.
This time, the concerto will be a replacement for a performance that was originally scheduled to take place in 2020, and for which there had been many requests from the audience.

Beethoven's "Rural" is an immortal masterpiece and a pioneering work that pioneered the later symphonic poetry and theme music, depicting the peaceful countryside and the emotions and respect for nature, including the description of birdsong in the second movement, within the framework of a traditional symphonic work.
R. Strauss' "Serenade for 13 Wind Instruments" is the work that brought the composer fame. The audience will enjoy the essence of Strauss's music, such as the characteristic use of horns in the long, quiet sound of the woodwind ensemble, which is a characteristic of Strauss's later works.
And the main piece is Takashi Yoshimatsu: Cyberbird Concerto, selected by Aya Matsuba, who is also active as a brass band instructor and in the Worldship Project. The trinity of the concerto will be joined by pianist and old acquaintance Yukihiro Akashi and percussionist Ulla Kishida, who is also active as a cajonist, in a performance of this top contemporary saxophone concerto that encompasses jazz, rock, and even ethnic elements!

If there was a song, we would have changed the soloist, but diversEnsemble has a policy of "there is a soloist".
It is because we believe that only the three of us can accomplish this, and because we also believe that "only a live performance can give you the impression that you can experience. It is precisely because of this belief that only the three soloists can perform live that we were able to ask for the opportunity to perform and make it happen.
Now that the time has come for the three soloists to come together again, we are pleased to finally be able to present this concert.
We hope that you will experience the dazzling brilliance of the soloists and other contemporary artists at the venue.
