The 100th Anniversary of Morton Feldman’s Birth Unofficial

This concert is a special program commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Morton Feldman, a composer who had a profound influence on 20th-century music history. Featuring pianist Takayuki Kikawa, the program will present a complete performance of Feldman’s masterpiece for solo piano, *Triadic Memories*. As Feldman himself stated, “I am trying to make the sound lose its point of origin,” this work unfolds a unique musical world that stirs the listener’s memory and consciousness through the slow repetition of exquisitely beautiful chords. The performance is scheduled to last approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. In the space of Café Montage, where silence and resonance harmonize, this will be a rare opportunity to deeply experience the decay of sound and the passage of time. Please fully savor the concept pursued by the composer—that “the sum of the parts is different from the whole”—through the delicate resonance of the piano. Please enjoy to your heart’s content this introspective and blissful moment, as you engage with the music while consciously rearranging your memories.
