FY29 Creation Grant [Single-Year Grant Program] 1st term
Business Overview
This year marks 20 years since the formation of the Ensemble Nomad, and to commemorate this anniversary, the ensemble will hold a total of 4 special regular performances focusing on each of the members who have supported the ensemble so far, and each of them will be the soloist in a concerto collection. The virtues of an ensemble composed of multiple musicians are music that can be called a chemical reaction created by the collision of different instruments (personalities), but in order to produce an excellent reaction, the skills and sensibilities of individual musicians must be excellent. It is no coincidence that Nomad's music, which is produced by the members who continue fulfilling activities as musicians every day and devote themselves to improving their performance techniques and artistry, is always outstanding in the contemporary music world. The 12 members will perform 1 soloist concerto with "Ensemble Nomad" in the background, and we hope that the "present" of contemporary music expressed by the ensemble in 20 years and the outlook for the "future" will be widely felt.
