Business Overview
This is the seventh recital series by 25 stringed Soh player Yamamoto Ami. The 25 stringed Soh, a modern Soh created in 1991 to express modern music, is now 30 years old and its original musicality is spreading as a multi-stringed instrument beyond the genre of traditional Japanese instruments. This series constantly expands Ami Yamamoto's exploration of sound and the possibilities of the 25 stringed Soh. This performance was held in Musicasa, the place of the 1st 25 stringed Soh Recital, and tried to return to the origin a little with unique pieces selected from the same pieces as those at that time and pieces commissioned until now. The performance sought to illuminate the next path in search of the “light ” that can be seen in the background. Program 1. "Crossing the Bridge" composed by Yuji TAKAHASHI 2.
