tokyo to kyoto - japanese new music
Works by Toshio Hosokawa, Jo Kondo, Maki Ishii, Yori-Aki Matsudaira and Toru Takemitsu
The focus is on new music from Japan, which translates the tension between ultra-modernity and Zen tradition, between change at top speed and lingering in the perpetual now, into exciting sounds.
