This is an independently produced concert by Nagauta singer Kineya Katsushiro. Since the first edition in 1997, Kineya has endeavored to disseminate and promote Nagauta and Japanese traditional performing arts by considering and finding ways to encourage audience interest through selection of the theme and orientation of each concert, and by presenting performances of superior artistry. The theme this time is the Japanese “festival,” and the program consists of “Okinasenzaisanbanso” and Kineya’s own composition “Edo Suite.” In a conversation presented midway through the concert, Kineya Katsushiro and Kasai Seiji will convey the fascination of Nagauta in an accessible way. Performing musicians are Kineya Katsushiro, Tohon Ajimi Jun, Kineya Minosuke and others (Nagauta singers); Kineya Yusuke, Tohon Miyata Yutaka, Kineya Katsujuro and others (Nagauta shamisen); and Katada Kisaku and his Group (Hayashi – Nagauta, percussion and flutes).
