This is a supreme duo recital by Walter Auer, a master flutist and principal player of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the world's most prestigious orchestra, and LEO, who is attracting attention as an outstanding young talent in the world of koto music. The duo, both of whom respect tradition while always pursuing innovation, will unfold a colorful world of sound that transcends the boundaries between Japanese and Western music. The program covers a wide range of genres, from Michio Miyagi's masterpiece "Spring Sea" to contemporary works by Bach, Piazzolla, and Ryuichi Sakamoto. The flute breathes like a shakuhachi and the koto sounds like a harp, creating a "kaleidoscope of sound" ensemble that can only be experienced here. Enjoy to your heart's content this special moment when two different cultures resonate and sublimate into a new harmony.
