Featuring Contemporary Music
KAGUYA
The first part of the program will be in the style of a chamber music concert, in which we will feature pieces by Kaija SAARIAHO and other composers who had a connection with her.
In the second part, a new stage production will take place with a collaboration between Josephine STEPHENSON, one of the highly thriving composers in Europe, and MORIYAMA Kaiji, Japan’s leading dancer.
