Business Overview
This project aimed to hand down wonderful works and create new art through three worlds: classical music, the ideal goal of building a bridge between classical and contemporary music: Toru Takemitsu, and contemporary music: the first performance of commissioned new works. The program includes Toru Takemitsu's representative works for viola, "A Bird Descends on the Road" and "A String Around Autumn," the world premiere of "Autumn Nocturne" by young contemporary composer Shiki Gen, who won the Toru Takemitsu Composition Award in 2019, and the commissioned world premiere of "Unaccompanied Viola Sonata - Chagall no Pictorial Style." He invited Takushi SATO as a pianist. After the performance, Siki Gen, who was invited from Austria, joined the group and gave a talk session about his work.
