Tokyo Philharmonic Chorus x Kyushu Symphony Orchestra Ikuma Dan and Kurume Memorial Concert
Taste the music while unraveling the relationship between Kurume and Kyushu
2026/05/17(su.) 15:00 Starting
Kurume City Plaza will mark the 10th anniversary of its opening with a concert of music by Ikuma Dan, a composer with deep connections to Kurume.
Ikuma Dan always composed his music with an eye on Japanese history, tradition, culture, and the people who live there. Letters from Japan No. 2" has a pleasant Japanese rhythm. The "Celebration March" plays the postwar reconstruction and peace. Silk Road" bursts with orchestral expression of an eye toward the Orient. The aria from "Yuzuru," a masterpiece of Japanese opera. Chikugo River" is a masterpiece that Dan composed while walking and riding on a boat along the banks of the Chikugo River and thinking about the beauty of the towns and people of the river basin, and is still loved and sung 58 years after its first performance.
The cast includes Ichiro Saito, a conductor active in numerous orchestras; Sara Kobayashi, a soprano who has appeared in many operas in Japan and abroad; the Tokyo Philharmonic Chorus, one of the leading professional choral groups in Japan; and the Kyushu Symphony Orchestra, the best professional orchestra in Kyushu. The top players will come together to present the music of Ikuma Dan, who led the world of postwar Japanese composition.
Please enjoy this magnificent and beautiful concert, which is unique to Kurume, featuring "Chikugo River" and "Saikai Hymn" as if a drop of water becomes a river and leads to the sea.
