Friday Night Concert Vol. 15: A Reading of *The Little Prince* and French Chamber Music Unofficial

This special stage production presents *The Little Prince*—a timeless classic that has been translated into over 200 languages and continues to be cherished around the world since its publication—through a collaboration of music and narration. The story, specially reworked for this performance, is woven together with renowned French melodies carefully selected by the Inzai Music Association, inviting the audience on the Little Prince’s mystical journey. The narration features Moemi Suzuki, beloved for her role as one of the “big sisters” on the children’s show “Hirake! Ponkikki” and still active in a wide range of fields today; her warm delivery adds depth to the story. Joining her are a lineup of accomplished musicians—Yuko Igarashi on clarinet, Asumi Soga on flute, and Yuya Igo on piano—who will perform the richly colorful melodies of Chaminade and Debussy. A pre-performance talk is also scheduled, offering a deeper insight into the work’s appeal and key highlights. Please join us at the venue to enjoy a luxurious moment—a welcome escape from everyday life, enveloped in soothing melodies and words.
