Mahler-Jugendorchester Japan 1st Concert

Mahler once said, "Tradition is not to worship its burning ashes, but to inherit the flame that kindled them. The new orchestra, "Mahler Jugendorchester Japan," was born out of the love of Mahler between Satoshi Kawasaki and Haruyuki Nakagawa, with whom he has collaborated three times on Mahler's "Resurrection" and other works, and their deepened mutual trust and mutual admiration for each other's high musical ambitions. The group is composed mainly of principal players of orchestras and freelance musicians from all over Japan. The first concert, to be held on July 7, Mahler's birthday, will feature "Symphony No. 5. In addition, the Takashi Yoshimatsu work that will be combined with it will depict a delicate and rich expression of emotion that will be imbued with its haunting delicacy, scale, openness, and, above all, a strong sense of Japanese beauty. Mahler and Takashi Yoshimatsu, two masterpieces by two composers who stimulate a very deep part of human reason and sensitivity, are going to be the best stage to hear their masterpieces at a low price.
