Tadao Yoshie, a baritone singer, will turn 84 this year. His voice remains fresh and beautiful even as he ages, and his music, which is deep and rich in flavor because of his advanced age, warmly envelops the audience.
Chie Hirai, a virtuoso fortepiano player, is fascinated by Tadao Yoshie's music and has performed with him many times out of respect.
Tadao Yoshie and Chie Hirai will weave together a lyrical world of poems by Goethe and other poems by Chie Hirai, with the hope of "Praying for Hope".
