Business Overview
In 2023, which marked 400 years since its publication, he performed Schein's "The Fountain of Israel" with period instruments and a first-class chorus to spread the musical appeal of Schein's work. Although it is a masterpiece, its recognition is low and its performance is difficult, so this piece is played very infrequently in the world, and it consists of chorus and toussou bass, and the musical instrument for toussou bass is not specified in the score. Instead of simply holding concerts with instruments and players, it is unique to our association that the project was carried out with thorough consideration of two things: research on the instruments of the time and practice of actually producing sounds for customers to listen to.
