A performance by contemporary music ensemble, Tokyo Gen’On Project. Noriaki Mori featured for the sixth installment of the Composer’s Selection, in which a single composer provides a new commissioned work and oversees programming for the concert. As a saxophone player and event organizer as well, Mori is known for projects that transcend genres such as contemporary music, jazz, and improvisational performance. For this concert he decided on the keywords “borderless” and “academism.”. Mori’s new saxophone concerto featured free jazz heavyweight Akira Sakata as guest soloist.
