This special concert commemorates the 50th anniversary of the passing of Akio Yashiro, one of Japan’s leading composers, and offers a deep exploration of his artistry. Led by pianist and writer Izumiko Aoyagi, who serves as the concert’s curator and arranger, the program features up-and-coming pianist Mitsuyuki “Marcel” Tadokoro, flutists Reiko Takuwa and Tomomi Urabe, who will convey the appeal of Yashiro’s works from multiple perspectives. The program spans from his early sonatinas to works for four hands, sonatas featuring the flute, and his late-career masterpiece, the Piano Sonata. It also includes a mini-lecture comparing Beethoven’s masterpieces with Yashiro’s works, offering a deeper understanding of the background of the pieces. Through the refined sounds woven by these performers, we invite you to fully immerse yourself in the unique musical world left behind by Akio Yashiro. Why not spend a special moment connecting with the composer’s spirit at the historic Hamarikyu Asahi Hall?
