Yukino Nakazoe & Shuji Kyomasu Duo Concert

Shimaenaga Music Planning presents a duo concert by violinist Yukino Nakazoe and pianist Shuji Kyomasu. The venue is Lutheran Ichigaya Hall, which is known for its beautiful sound. You will be able to enjoy to your heart's content the supreme ensembles that resonate in the silence of Brahms' "Rain Songs," Franck's masterpiece sonatas, and lyrical pieces by Sibelius and Amy Beach. Please look forward to a delicate and passionate musical dialogue spun by these two talented musicians. This is a special experience filled with the organizer's desire to create a space where music can be shared by all.
