A hymn to peace and nature will be played in the program that closes this year's festival. Written in Atsugishi, Akira Ifukube's "Earthly Triptych" is a chamber-like work by 14 players that depicts the Ainu landscape rooted in the land of Hokkaido. Born in Kushiro City, Ifukube had a close relationship with the Ainu people and created many works, including the "Godzilla" series, that have an underlying sense of awe for nature. The second piece will be performed by pianist Megumi Ito, who has performed with the ensemble in the past. She will perform Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20, which she hopes to deliver a "dreamlike" and "operatic" performance. Then, "The Countryside," music of gratitude to nature. The performance will take the audience to the heights of religious music, as if praying for peace after a storm has passed.
