Business Overview
Point de Vue is a modern music concert series produced by composer Teruaki Suzuki and Tomohiro Moriyama. Performances have been held annually since 2007, focusing on new works by Japanese composers. The various composers who have gathered so far do not proclaim a common message in terms of usage or style, but develop their creations by finding a mutual point of view (=Point de Vue) based on the ideal form and values of music that they pursue. This concert series is a meeting place of consciousness and speech. In addition, works by Akira Miyoshi (1933-2013), a composer who made great achievements in the Japanese music world, are featured as invited works, and efforts are made to introduce and spread the music of Akira Miyoshi. The 10 performance in 2016 will feature a new work by 6 artists, Kentaro Sudo, Teruaki Suzuki, Tetsutaro Masui, Ryohei Mori, Tomohiro Moriyama and Akio Yasuraoka, as well as Akira Miyoshi's "Change-Yuei" for mixed six-part chorus, shakuhachi, percussion instruments and 17 strings. Performers are Keiichi SHIMIZU (conductor), Ryozan SAKATA (shakuhachi), Misato HANAOKA (17 stringed instrument), Akikuni TAKAHASHI (hand drum), Keiko TADA (large hand drum), Ayano SAITO (percussion instrument), Matsubara Mixed Choir and others.
