Business Overview
Four young Japanese composers who will lead the next generation spend time in Mexico to create works through the new commissioned project "Tambucco: Young Japanese Composers Mexico Residency Project" by Tambucco, which has premiered many new pieces by famous composers. Part 1 of the concert is a rare opportunity for the same musicians to perform in Japan the 4 works that just premiered in Mexico City in March 2013 - Takumi Ikeda's La Caverna (sin alegoría), Masamichi Kinoshita's Sea Children Who Lost Their Memories of Water II, Tomoko Momiyama's Moons of Hidden Times, and Toshiya Watanabe's Omori. The second part includes the familiar minimal work "Do you understand?" by Reich, the Colombian-Mexican composer Novoa's “Music for Pieces of Wood, ” Du May's“ Table Music ” without instruments, and the coming of the night by Mexican jazz pianist and arranger Infanson. All works are made with the same instruments or objects (claves, a musical instrument made by rubbing a stick with notches placed on a wooden surface, guacharacas, tables, and marimbas), and it is a concert that can be enjoyed as a performance that inspires infinite imagination from a simple composition.
