Yokoto Kodan Theater Piko-1 "Francis Poulenc

Piano and Kodan. Both are traditional cultures of the West and the East, but they are not usually performed together on stage.
The cultural attractions of these two different cultures will be combined by a piano player with a proven track record as an ensemble and a young performer with an established reputation for his new kodan to create a new form of stage performance by combining their respective characteristics.
The first commemorative concert will feature Francis Poulenc, one of the leading composers of modern French music, whose death will be celebrated in 2023, 60 years after his death.
The first commemorative performance will feature Francis Poulenc, one of the most famous composers of modern French music, whose death will be celebrated in 2023, 60 years after his death.
In addition to the collaboration with the storyteller, the concert will also include Poulenc's representative songs and other elements that will make it an enjoyable concert.
We are working to create a performance that can be enjoyed by both the audience for the storytelling and the concert!
We are preparing for the concert so that even those who are unfamiliar with kodan and concerts will enjoy and be interested in them through our new attempts.
