Benten Hyakudo vol.17 Peach Garden Pilgrimage Road (Togenkyo-do)
The Middle Point between Sensibility and Intellect - Commemorating the 150th Anniversary of Ravel's Birth
2025/12/13(sa.) 13:30 Starting
Ravel is one of the composers that the mastermind of this project admires. He was described as a "magician of orchestration," and we would like to experience his sound world as much as possible...so we have decided to take advantage of the 150th anniversary year of his birth.
However, there are not many of his chamber music works, and they are difficult to understand (sweat), so we will mix piano pieces and orchestral arrangements. We will also have some original arrangements that can only be heard here, so please look forward to it!
---Please look forward to it!
Benten Hyakudo" is a project started in 2003 as a "gathering place" to challenge ensembles of various compositions together with fellow musicians.
Under the call of a weekend-only viola player (the ringleader), many music lovers, including amateur orchestra members, colleagues and juniors at universities and workplaces, and family members, have participated in the project.
Since its inaugural performance in March 2004, the orchestra has held regular performances [at the main building] approximately once a year, although there was a four-year break in the middle of the season. The theme of each performance is different, and the music is characterized by a broad selection of both well-known and obscure pieces.
In parallel, the series will also develop an "annex" (from 2020) that focuses on specific composers and compositions, a "branch" (from 2022) that specializes in string quartets, and a "branch" (from 2024) that is limited to baroque music. The new series will be able to accommodate a wider range of programs.
Benten" refers to Benzaiten, who is revered as the god of music, eloquence, and wisdom. The name "Hyakkodo" is a reference to the department store that sells everything, a place where a wide variety of programs can be realized, and a gathering place for amateur musicians (i.e., "hima-jin").
