Takashi Kako Piano Solo Concert

This is a solo concert by composer/pianist Takashi Kako, who is now at the peak of his powers of maturity, having passed the 50th anniversary of his debut in Paris. The concert will feature a number of representative pieces that have been spun over the course of his musical activities over the years. In particular, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy his own solo piano version of "Is Paris Burning?", the main theme of NHK's "The Century of the Moving Image" and "Passacaglia of God", a highly popular piece from the same NHK program. The beautiful and delicate tone of Takashi Kako, who has been described as a "poet of the piano," and his deeply contemplative performance will resonate with the rich natural resonance of the hall at Yatsugatake. Please enjoy a blissful musical experience that will light up your heart and soul in the late summer.
