Business Overview
The challenge of creative activities in composing music is to break through classical works and generational traditions and to acquire new modernity and universality. However, classical works and works of the new generation, which should be recognized as a matter of course, have very few opportunities to be reperformed. In this project, symphonies composed in the 1930s in Japan and contemporary works from the 1990s to the 2010s were re-performed side by side, providing a glimpse of Japan's diverse orchestral works. Keiko Fujiie: Remembering Human Motions ~ for the Chamber Orchestra (1994) Masaru Fujikura: "Tokar y Le Charles" for the Orchestra (2010/2011) Fumiko Kojiba: 7 Unweathered Profiles ~ for the Piano and Orchestra (2005) * Saburo Moroi: Symphony No. 2 (1938) Conductor: Ichiro Nohira Piano Solo: Tomoki Sakata *
