This performance is a charity concert to support the Betania Home, operated by the Hilda-kai Social Welfare Corporation. Toshihiko Amano and Taichi Karakawa—two leading performers on period instruments—will present the complete “Rosary Sonatas,” a monumental work composed by Heinrich Biber, a master violinist of the Baroque era. Symbolizing prayers to the Virgin Mary, this work is a mystical piece of music that deeply portrays the life and passion of Christ through the use of as many as 15 different special tunings. In the rich acoustics of a church sanctuary, the delicate sounds woven from the warm tones of period instruments will resonate with the spirit of prayer, creating a truly special moment. We invite you to attend this rare concert featuring the complete work, imbued with a wish for peace. You will be able to fully immerse yourself in a world of compassion and quiet prayer through music.
Program
The program consists of a total of 15 pieces—Part I: “Joy,” Part II: “Suffering,” and Part III: “Glory”—as well as a passacaglia. There will be two intermissions.
