Business Overview
In the 20 century, the old musical instrument 'chamberlain' was revived, and many excellent musical instruments made with historical methods have been produced in Japan. However, his contemporary works are not abundant, and the lack of interest and understanding of Japanese musicians and composers in particular has not been resolved. This time, we aim to create a unique program that combines new songs, including commissioned world premieres, with classic masterpieces, shedding light on living female composers. The appeal of this instrument is expected to appeal to a wide range of audiences and composers, from ancient music to contemporary music, and the birth of new music and listeners. Particularly noteworthy was the Japanese premiere of the work (Specifies that live performances will be recorded and mixed for simultaneous playback in 4ch surround.) by K. Saariaho, who is active at the forefront of the modern world, and a sound design space with the best engineers and equipment imaginable in Japan today was realized.
