Carta da Musica 3rd Concert Barber's Lyric/Sibelius' Scene

In the first performance, we presented a string ensemble, and in the second performance, we presented a number of masterpieces by Mozart and Beethoven. For the third concert, we will tackle the beautiful music of these two composers under the theme of "Barber's Lyric / Sibelius' Scene.

Barber's Violin Concerto, performed with Issei Kobayashi, who has been remarkably active as a young concertmaster of the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, is a work of lyrical beauty. This masterpiece, filled with American nostalgia and explosive energy, is a must-hear experience with Issei Kobayashi's virtuosic and beautiful violin!

The first half and the main program will feature two Sibelius pieces with magnificent Finnish scenery. The cool Finnish breeze that fills the hall in a bright and festive atmosphere is perfect for the end of April, when you can feel the budding of fresh greenery. We hope you will enjoy the scenes sung with great power and fluency under the rich and natural musical creation of Urabe Yuki.

Please come and experience the music that Carta da Musica spins on a pleasant spring holiday afternoon!
