Business Overview
This year marks 10 years since the death of contemporary music composer György Ligeti, and 3 female musicians active around the world, based in Europe and the United States, will take on the challenge of <<Trio for Violin, Piano, and Horn: An Homage to Brahms>> a difficult piece that has rarely been performed in Japan. Prior to this, each will perform a piece they think is appropriate for the trio as an homage to Ligeti. This includes the world premiere of the first horn work by composer Sumiaki Suzuki, winner of the 24 Akutagawa Prize for Composition, and this new work is sure to be an homage to the Ligeti "horn trio" dedicated to 21 century music. This performance will be held as part of the "Kitatopia International Music Festival 2016," which has more than 20 years of tradition and outstanding achievements in contemporary music.
