Nagano City Art Center Recital HallNagano

Official https://www.nagano-arts.or.jp/events/5444.html

The 61st installment of the popular series presented by Nagano Performing Arts Center will feature LEO, a young star in the world of koto music. From traditional masterpieces such as "Tejiki" and "Sakura Sakura" to works by Ryuichi Sakamoto and LEO's own original compositions, the appeal of this program is its pursuit of the limitless possibilities of the koto. Pianist Masaki Hayashi will join the ensemble to perform together in a refined ensemble setting. In between the performances, the artists will give talks, and you can enjoy trivia about the instrument that you may or may not know. In addition, carefully selected sweets will be served, offering a quality and luxurious time to be enjoyed by all five senses in the recital hall. We hope you will take the time to enjoy the new sound of the koto, where tradition and innovation intersect, up close and personal.
