Business Overview
This time, as a new attempt, we invited a producer to create a program with an objective point of view, and searched for the development of a concert called a Japanese music exhibition. Composer Noriko Hisada, who was hired as a producer, has worked with the exhibition for five years. From the outside, the world of Japanese instruments seems closed, and it is often seen as a concert of the first class of 'only 20 stringed Soh.' However, this event was planned and held with the aim of breaking down this wall through a new trial, an approach to Soh from a viewpoint different from that of the members of the Japanese music exhibition, and innovative programming. Four composers, Noriko Hisada, Masami Horii, Mamoru Fujieda and Shigeaki Saegusa, collaborated on the project.
