John Cage, an American composer who added a new page to the history of music.To mark the 1th anniversary of his birth, the Arditti String Quartet, one of the world's greatest contemporary music quartets, will appear.
　Cage has broadened the definition of music through his unique expressions and music theory, such as "4 minutes 33 seconds", in which the performer does not play any instruments and remains silent until the end, and how he learned about Zen and deepened his interest in Eastern thought.His experimental attempts, which include not only sound but also the relationship with the audience, have influenced avant-garde art as a whole.It is also known for many songs that emphasize the ideological and spiritual connection with Japan.
　The Arditti String Quartet, whose repertoire specializes in 20th-century music, especially experimental music such as Cage, will perform the many pieces he left behind.Not only their performances, but also Mansai Nomura, who performed Ravel's "Bolero" in "Kyogen Theater XNUMX" the other day, and Kenichi Nakagawa, a pianist who actively collaborates with different fields such as dance. is.
　Mansai appeared in "4 part string quartet".Nakagawa will appear in "Music for Five".We look forward to seeing how they will interact with the string quartet and show us new expressions.
　Cage and the Arditti String Quartet echoing through the ages.Don't miss this rare opportunity that you won't find anywhere else.

======
The song starring Kenichi Nakagawa has been changed from "Five3" to "Music for Five".
