Business Overview
The purpose of this chamber music concert was to dissect how new contemporary music is created by using the theme of "homage and historier." For example, works that are homage to people and things, and works that include elements of historianism in which viewers ask themselves how to express the high forms and forms of architectural beauty that have been nurtured in the past, receive two senses that capture the audience's existing knowledge and new creation. Through the composition of the program and the commentary of the composer, it is possible to explore what is the result of the essence of the originality seen in the program. It was an interesting and refreshing performance for the audience to think about the composers ’ attitude and understanding of their works, which are trying to create a new world view by skillfully utilizing the past.
