Gagaku (ancient Japanese court music) was introduced to Japan from ancient Asia and boasts a history of more than 1,000 years, making it one of the world's oldest orchestras. This concert will take you on a rich musical journey that transcends time and region, featuring classical pieces such as "Lan Ling Wang" and "Hu Yun Ju," as well as a restoration of "Dunhuang Biwa Notation" by Sukeyasu Shiba, a work by Toshi Ichiyanagi, a leading contemporary composer, and a commissioned premiere piece by Tomoya Yokokawa. We hope you will enjoy to your heart's content the mysterious and dynamic sounds of Asia spun by up-and-coming performers who are expected to make great strides in Japan and abroad, in the prestigious atmosphere of the Mitsukoshi Theater. Young talents will breathe new life into ancient historical instruments, creating an exchange of sounds that transcends time and space.
