Nihon Ongaku Group 246th Subscription Concert: Re-creation of old and modern masterpieces with Japanese instruments and chorus
~Nihon Ongaku Shudo × Tokyo Mixed Chorus' New Road to Edo
2025/09/06(sa.) 14:00 Starting
This is a subscription concert in which the Japanese Music Group will re-create from its unique perspective the classics, folk songs, and masterpieces of Western music, welcoming a variety of sounds of Japanese instruments plus chorus. In the first half of the concert, Japanese and Western sounds will be woven together in a variety of compositions, including a koto quartet, a medley of French music, and transformations of folk songs, while the second half will feature the premiere performance of the music drama "Oedo no Musicians" with the Tokyo Philharmonic Chorus. This new work, a retelling of Grimm's fairy tale "Bremen's Band" set in the Edo period, is a must-see for its rich narrative stage music. Please enjoy the fascinating blend of tradition and creativity.
Program
The French Music Medley is a medley of seven pieces including Bolero, Gymnopedie, and Swan. The works based on Japanese old songs will be performed in an ensemble that transforms folk songs such as Saitarobushi and Yagibushi. The music play "Oedo no Ongakutai" will be performed for the first time with a script by Kazumi Yonezu and music by Yorihide Fukushima.
