~Osaka is a sacred place for the development of classical music! ~ Hands-on Concerts for Parents and Children to Enjoy
Osaka is currently in the midst of the excitement surrounding the 2025 Japan International Exposition, which will be held in Osaka in 2025. In connection with this, we will present the theme of "Classical Music Developed in Osaka." Many composers gathered in Osaka for the 1970 Osaka Expo, and various experiments were conducted, giving birth to many genres of classical music. In this performance, we would like to explore the Kawachi area at the foot of Mount Ikoma with the music born at the "Osaka Expo.

Features of the concert
1、What is Aquamonium? Music appreciation that even small children can enjoy freely.
It is an instrument for spatial expression in music. By installing many speakers, the sound moves around throughout the concert hall. In this performance, you will enjoy the sound moving around in addition to the performance. Therefore, you do not have to sit still in a chair to listen! Please enjoy the music appreciation freely wherever you like.

2, A concert that offers an extraordinary experience
This performance will feature not only spatial expression through acousmonium, but also world premieres of works by me, the composer, and art works. After the concert, there will be a corner where you can touch the open aquaemonium and experience the spatial expression of sound. Please enjoy not only listening to the performance but also actually touching the sound as it moves around!

3、Classical music for adults to enjoy
The theme of this performance is the 1970 Osaka Expo. You will experience how classical music changed and developed with the advent of numerous electronic technologies. This is a great opportunity for those who want to deepen their knowledge of music, as they will be exposed to music that they cannot listen to on a daily basis.

1. cell 75
After World War II, the widespread use of recording technology led classical composers to experiment with composing music using recording technology. Music is usually composed using the "do re mi fa solas do," but sounds that exist in daily life, such as the sound of water and people talking, were also incorporated as musical materials. Cell 75" is a combination of such environmental sounds and instrumental music, and we hope that you will enjoy the sound that cannot be experienced only through instrumental music.

2. sound of drawing The Sun
The activities that took place at the 1970 Osaka Expo became popular in the art world as an artistic expression that transcended the stereotypes of music, and installations and other works of art boomed, especially in the Kansai region. In this performance, art works will be performed on a new "musical instrument" using many speakers called "aquesmonium. We will present the connection of art created by Osaka.

3. pandora's hill
Music using technology, such as the use of recording techniques and spatial expression of sound, all developed at the Osaka Expo. This time, we used that technology to compose music to promote the city of Higashi-Osaka. Osaka, the Mecca of classical music!" as a concert that will make people proud of their local culture. During the performance, please enjoy the spatial movement of sound by moving freely not only to your designated seats but also to anywhere you like.
