Listening to ZEN with BACH Unofficial
Three Works Derived from the Opera *ZEN* and the Sounds of J.S. Bach
2026/11/03(Tu.) 14:00 Starting
This performance is a highly ambitious chamber music program presented in the unique setting of the Kyudo Kaikan—a Buddhist chapel—that combines a collection of works by Atsuhiko Gondo, derived from the opera *ZEN*, with J.S. Bach’s unaccompanied cello suites. The profound resonance of Gondo’s works—including the world premieres of “E” and “N”—intersects with the universal compositional beauty of Bach’s music. This interplay is brought to life by a lineup of master musicians, including Japan’s leading cellist Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi, harpist Fumiko Shinozaki, and shakuhachi player Suzutaka Kuroda—will weave together the profound resonance of Atsuhiko Gondo’s works, including the world premieres of “E” and “N,” with the universal compositional beauty of J.S. Bach’s unaccompanied cello suites. By distilling the essence of an opera themed on the spirit of Zen and allowing the timbres of the instruments to resonate together, the performance will harmonize perfectly with the solemn atmosphere of the venue, the Kyudo Kaikan. We invite you to enjoy an exceptionally rich musical experience—one that can only be fully appreciated in this intimate setting with just 100 seats. Please join us at the venue to savor this sublime afternoon of dialogue between contemporary and classical music.
