Hideki Togi 30th Anniversary Tour
TOGISM of Eternity and Innovation
2026/10/11(su.) 15:00 Starting
This concert tour commemorates the 30th anniversary of Hideki Togi, one of Japan's leading masters of gagaku (ancient Japanese court music). The first part of the tour, themed on the "Silk Road" that traces the origin of music, will feature a one-of-a-kind stage performance of Japanese gagaku spun by ancient instruments and the memories of the East and the West. The melody woven by various gagaku instruments such as sho, Hichiriki, dragon flute, and biwa, as well as instruments from the ancient Silk Road, is a must-hear. In the second part, the sound transformed into rock, fusing Japanese resonance with Western band sounds at its core. You will experience an innovative sound that fuses the past and the future, the world and Japan on one stage. The collaboration with his son, Norichika Togi, a guitarist and Gagaku (traditional Japanese court music) player, is the very image of music being passed on to the next generation. This is a special time to feel Hideki Togi's "now" and to dream together about the new possibilities and future of Gagaku through his classical and new works.
