Business Overview

Point de Vue is a modern music concert series produced by composer Teruaki Suzuki and Tomohiro Moriyama. Since 2007, the orchestra has held performances every year, collaborating with up-and-coming musicians to produce new works by contemporary 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 9th performance in 2015 will feature the original composition of Akira Miyoshi's "Black Constellation" (guitar and string quartet) along with 6 new works by Kotomi Igarashi, Rinichi Mogawa, Teruaki Suzuki, Masakiyo Sekido, Toyoki Tsuchida and Tomohiro Moriyama. The score of this original composition has not been published yet, so it will be a precious opportunity to touch this work, which is rarely heard. Koji Ohagi, winner of the 18 Idemitsu Music Prize, will play guitar.
