Profile

[Scholars Aquarius]
Formed in 2021 to mainly perform choral works by composer Teruaki Suzuki. Aiming to pursue the beauty of "sound" itself, freed from solfege, young vocalists active in various fields such as baroque, opera and contemporary music gathered. The aim is to convey the essence of Suzuki's works, which are said to be extremely difficult musically and technically, the spirit of the composer, and the charm of his unique harmonies, and to spread them widely.
