The 47th Kirishima International Music Festival Kirishima Festival Orchestra Unofficial

The Kirishima Festival Orchestra will take the stage at Hozan Hall for the 47th performance of the Kirishima International Music Festival. The orchestra will be conducted by Ben Grasberg, a young maestro who is attracting worldwide attention. The soloist is the pianist Aimi Suzuki, the first Japanese winner of the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition and a much talked about pianist, and they will perform together for the first time. Expectations are high for these two young stars, both fresh and overwhelmingly talented, to create a musical spark in Kirishima. A pre-concert talk by the conductor himself is scheduled before the performance, which will help the audience deepen their understanding of the work. Please come and experience a special moment interwoven with the finest orchestral sound and the delicate, passionate sound of the piano.
