Kiyoshi Shomura Guitar Recital ~ A Tribute to Toru Takemitsu ~ Unofficial

A recital will be held featuring Kiyoshi Shomura, a guitarist who represents Japan in both skill and popularity and has continued to lead the Japanese guitar scene for many years. From his debut to the present, he has premiered numerous commissioned works and released many CDs; his performances, which constantly explore new possibilities for the guitar, have deeply captivated audiences. This concert features a special program imbued with his deep affection for composer Toru Takemitsu, whom he has deeply admired and with whom he has cultivated a long-standing musical friendship. Featuring not only Takemitsu’s guitar works but also masterpieces by Bach and others, the performance promises to be a moment to fully savor the delicate yet rich expressive power of the guitar. Anticipation is high to see what beautiful melodies the master’s increasingly mature artistry will bring to life in the Kyoto venue. Additionally, a cashback program is available for those aged 25 and under, providing the younger generation—the future of music—with an opportunity to experience authentic guitar music. We invite you to come to the venue and enjoy this precious moment of delving into the depths of music.
