Outline

Focusing on the accordion, which celebrated the 200th anniversary of its creation, and Sho, the original form of the accordion, the premiere of 10 new pieces written by five composers for this concert were featured. Despite of their beauty sound, duets of both instruments are rare.
In the concert they were able to present the five perspectives of each composer. In particular, they demonstrated possibilities of this fascinating instrumentation, by the sound of the two instruments merging with a subtle difference in pitch. In addition, they were able to realize the beautiful sound of two instruments and electronics, and made the audience recognize that the two traditional instruments can “harmonize” with modern technology.
