Toward the Future, Toward the World - A Feast of Chamber Music from East and West

As recipients of the "Japanese Music Appeal Project," up-and-coming Japanese instrumentalists who are expected to make great strides in Japan and abroad will perform together with the Quartet Excelsior, which continues to be active at the forefront, to present a special stage where the sounds of Japanese and Western music intersect. The ensemble of koto, sangen, and shakuhachi, which were originally intended as chamber music, and the string quartet will weave together a variety of delicate and powerful sounds that will illuminate a variety of works. Enjoy the fascination of Japanese and Western chamber music, both of which have a history of nearly 400 years.

In addition to contemporary works such as "SEN" by Ko Mukai, a composer who has attracted attention for winning the Yasunobu Akutagawa Suntory Composition Award, and "TOLUS IV" by Akira Miyoshi, which has not been performed since its premiere in 1973, the program will also feature masterpieces from the early 19th to mid 20th centuries in jiuta and Yamada-style koto music. We hope you will experience this irreplaceable moment of resonance between East and West as a musical gateway to the future and to the world.
