This is a special recital presented by “Farfalle,” a duo consisting of professional harpists Takayo Matsumura and Eri Matsumura, who are real-life sisters. Named for the way two harps placed side by side resemble butterflies, this duo captivates audiences with a wide-ranging repertoire—from classical masterpieces to the premieres of contemporary works—and their exceptional technical skill. In celebration of “Harp Day,” this performance will feature famous melodies from Bizet’s opera “Carmen,” Schubert’s Serenade, and Piazzolla’s “Libertango,” as well as the world premiere of “Ulysses,” a commissioned work by Yasutaka Henmi. Boasting appearances at international music festivals in France and numerous awards, these artists will bring out the full potential of the harp, enveloping the venue in a rich tapestry of sound. We invite you to enjoy a heartwarming experience accompanied by the resonance of music.
