Tokyo Gakusho New Year Gagaku "The Tale of Genji

The Tokyo Gakusho, the pinnacle of the traditional performing art of Gagaku, also known as Japan's oldest orchestra, will make its debut at the Renai Kodaira Grand Hall. The performing group, composed mainly of musicians from the ceremonial music department of the Imperial Household Agency, will weave a Heian picture scroll from masterpieces of kangen (wind and stringed) music such as Banzokucho Ondori, Aomiha, and Koshitenraku from Momijiga, to Manzai Gaku from bugaku (dance music), Left Mai Wakana Kami- and Shimo-Yori Rakutsu, and Right Mai Ippon Mai Wakana Kami- and Shimo-Yori Hotaruyori. Enjoy a moment immersed in the world of elegant sounds and dances with commentary on the progression and introduction of the instruments.
