Business Overview
Developed in 1969, the 20 stringed Soh celebrated its 50 year anniversary in 2019. In preparation for this milestone year, starting from this year, the Hogaku Exhibition will select works that will become the standard numbers of the 20 stringed Soh by age, and will organize a program with new works that will become new masterpieces. This time, we look back on the works of the 1970s, the period of its creation. (The music of Minoru MIKI, a composer who was involved in the development of the 20 stringed Soh, is scheduled to be performed at another time.)
