I want to know more! I want to hear more! Teleman Vol.6

The program consisted of a fun and passionate talk by Kota Sato, a musicologist who is "the most knowledgeable about Telemann in Japan," and a concert by recorder player Asamasa Ujigawa and other performers who were "fascinated by Telemann's music, I want to know more! I want to hear more! This is the sixth installment of the "Telemann" series.

In 1701, a young Telemann gave up music for various reasons and came to Leipzig University to study law. However, his talent for music was quickly discovered, and before he knew it, he was in Leipzig to begin his career as a musician.
Leipzig at the beginning of the 18th century was full of incredibly talented young musicians. Heinichen, who later became the court music director of Dresden, Pisendel and Fasch, who were friends of Telemann, and Graupner, who was a good rival (?!). The musicians who were to support German music in the first half of the 18th century gathered in this cultural city.
In this concert, we will present their works as an ensemble of five different instruments and an enjoyable lecture.
Please enjoy the feast of diverse sounds while thinking about the student life of those days.

This concert is a "Kitatopia International Music Festival 2025 Participating Performance".
