Letters to Boulanger vol.1
A concert of stories spun in three special spaces
No.3 Yatsugatake Reed Organ Museum, Yamanashi
Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Japan Reed Organ Society
Supported by: Japan Reed Organ Society, Yatsugatake Reed Organ Museum
In the third installment of "Letters to Boulanger vol. 1," a program born from the pianos in our studio, we weave a tale set in a reed organ museum in a forest with impressive tulip stained-glass windows. The sounds of Paris at that time in 1910 will be presented along with the sound of birds. The instrument is a Müstel art harmonium from the collection of the Yatsugatake Reed Organ Museum, born in 1910. The instrument is so rare that it is considered the Ferrari of the reed organ world. Weaving a story with song, piano, and harmonium, another piece of the puzzle is filled in.
Now, let the story begin.
A piano came to a small room in Kyoto.
This piano,
I wonder what kind of person played it.
While tracing the old ledger, I came across the name "Boulanger",
I came across the name Boulanger.
Lili Boulanger.
Nadia Boulanger.
Lived the Parisian era,
two sisters who lived through the Parisian era.
The truth is, we don't know.
But..,
From that small coincidence,
that is related to the boulangerie
I wanted to listen carefully to Chopin's music
I wanted to listen carefully to Chopin's music
When you enter the wooden house, which looks a bit like Hansel and Gretel's candy house, you will find many beautiful instruments with stories behind them. Please enjoy the memory of French music while enjoying the synchronization of this wonderful space, the sound of the instruments, and the historical facts.
Piano: YAMAHA Grand Piano G5 Ivory, which is permanently installed at the venue.
MUSTEL Art Harmonium 21stops, manufactured in Paris in 1910.
Estey reed organ manufactured in the U.S. in 1887: 13 stops

*The venue is limited to the first 30 people who arrive.
Parking is limited, so you can either call a cab (about 3 minutes) from Kai Koizumi station,
It is also fun to take a leisurely walk and enjoy the spots associated with Shingen Takeda.
The path is basically flat, but there is a 3₋5 minute uphill climb in the latter half.
As I am not good at walking, I powered up at the Spring Water Memorial Museum in the middle third of the trail to enjoy Shingen Takeda's achievements and eat soba (buckwheat noodles). (If the butcher shop is open, the croquettes are delicious too)
Then, after walking up the hill for the remaining 3-5 minutes, and again on a flat path for about 5 minutes, you will arrive at the pleasant breeze in the shade of the trees and the sound of birds.
The sun is strong, so a cold pita, hat, and drink are essential.
Please enjoy the flowers in the museum garden. -
