Business Overview
A performance focusing on hayashi, the music of noh, will be held to reconfirm the creativity and unique concepts of noh, a rare classical art in the world, and the unique elements of noh, which are still valued today, by focusing on music. In one part of the program, classical masterpieces of Nohgaku will be performed. In the second part, a new musical performance by the flute player Yukihiro ISSO is performed. The aim is to provide an opportunity for many audiences to discover the creativity and potential of Noh music by performing new Noh music by Yukihiro Isso, who has created new Noh music by adopting various techniques while inheriting the musical elements of Noh music. The attempt to view Noh from the viewpoint of music is an unexplored field in the history of Nohgaku, but it will show a new direction of development in the Nohgaku world. Creating new hayashi means creating a legacy for 100 years to come.
