The year 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of the death of Toru Takemitsu, a world-renowned Japanese composer. On this occasion, Kiyoshi Shomura, one of Japan's leading guitarists, will present a special recital at Philia Hall as a tribute to Takemitsu, with whom he had a close friendship.
The program will feature all of Takemitsu's original works for guitar, including "Folios," his first solo guitar work, "Echinox," "In the Woods" (the above three pieces were commissioned by Kiyoshi Shomura), and "All in the Twilight! The two works by J.S. Bach that Takemitsu loved so much will be combined with the "Lute Suite" and the "All in the twilight". The "Lute Suite" and the "Chaconne," which has become a masterpiece not only for violinists but also for guitarists, will be added to create a world filled with serenity and spirituality.
Shomura is still energetically active before his 80th birthday. Please enjoy this rare afternoon to feel a part of the essence of the music of Takemitsu's works through the guitar, expressed by a mature master who combines delicacy and passion.
