Profile
[The Soh Koto Executive Committee]
The Soh Koto Executive Committee planned a concert series of 5 times in total by Satomi Fukami, Chieko Fukunaga and Nanae Yoshimura with the thought that the differences in the field of koto and the music that each person is good at can build a concert with a wide perspective when considering the history of the Soh. This chapter introduces various aspects of koto through colorful works created over the past 80 years.
