Business Overview

"Art x Art x Art" is a series that introduces diverse art scenes around the world, focusing on artists pursuing new forms of music and artistic expression in order to appeal to a wide range of audiences with flexible sensibilities. The first in the series will feature Dai Fujikura, a composer who is very active all over the world, and will present an electronics piece based on a collaboration with Ryuichi Sakamoto, who premiered the piece in the world, focusing on chamber music. For this new work, a young filmmaker selected under the supervision of Harada Daisaburo will produce a video work, which will be shown along with music, in collaboration with young artists. In addition, between the first and second performances, chef Kaneko of Omotesando L’AS, a French restaurant that is popular for its menu full of new ideas and surprises, which is connected to the music of Dai Fujikura, collaborates with food. In the foyer and sky terrace, where the music of Dai Fujikura plays, this is a new trial to experience music, food, and the space of Hakuju Hall in total.
