The review of the concert with Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra!!!
English translation
"The orchestra was not taking part in the biggest surprise of the evening. Composer Noriko Baba adapted a classic Noh play into a compact work for Noh performer Ryoko Aoki and string quartet. Baba's Hagoromo suite (2016) proved to be a combination of ritual and quiet, bare sound metamorphoses."
