The project comprises the Repertoire Database project featuring video recordings of performances dating from the ensemble’s formation in 2012, and the “Selection Series” of concerts bringing three perspectives – those of the musician, the critic, and the composer – to the planning and organization of concerts.
In this report session we look back on two years of planning and practice by the ensemble, which has remained at the forefront of contemporary music, and hear about its plans going forward.
*This event will be conducted in Japanese.
