Outline

In today’s environment of limited facilities, Iguchi explores and innovates the diversity of arrangement for two pianos.
This concert focusing on a new work commissioned to Maya Yamazaki also featured works by Mozart, Chabrier, Rachmaninoff, and Hisatada Otaka.
Iguchi hopes that looking at works by composers from a wide range of eras and countries and from classical to modern times will offer a road map to the expansion of a new repertoire for two pianos.
