The Orchestra Project is a group of composers who have come together with the common goal of developing a movement for the creation and presentation of new orchestral works, and has been holding annual concerts in which four composers perform their new orchestral works for the first time in the world. This year's concert is the 40th performance of the Orchestra Project, a memorable evening. This year's concert marks the 40th performance of the Orchestra Project, which includes Masashi Hirai's delicate and vivid piano concerto "Siren's Island," Junnosuke Yamamoto's new space-time piece "Two Hours in the Light" with solo clarinet and orchestra, Yu Tsuchiya's lively violin concerto "The Second Voice," and Akira Ishiguro's magnificent "Misuzu's Birth" with chorus and solo voice, which is spun from the opera "Misuzu. The Birth of Isuzu. Conducted by Takeshi Oi and Eiichi Himoto (Ishiguro only) and performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, the program is a rich mix of contemporary music with a wide variety of sounds.
The orchestra will be joined by top-notch soloists including Shinji Urakabe on violoncello, Ryuta Iwase on clarinet, Katsuya Matsubara on violin, Haru Ito, Toshiharu Nakajima, Yutaka Yamashita, Toshiaki Murakami, and Hidekazu Machi on solo singing, as well as the Tokyo Philharmonic Chorus, making this the 40th anniversary of the Orchestra Pup Project a truly memorable event. The concert will be performed by a splendid lineup of performers.
We hope to see you there.
