Venue：5F Bird Room, SHIBAURA HOUSE（3-15-4 Shibaura, Minato, Tokyo, Japan）
From 2010, a Noh singer, Ryoko Aoki, has organised “Noh × Contemporary Music” to commission international composers to write new pieces for Noh voice. So far, 36 pieces have been premiered in this series. In this project, we will commission Bernd Franke, Máté Balogh, Shiqi Geng and will premiere their new works on 14 May 2021. In the concert, the composers will talk about composing a new piece for Noh voice online, and then they will be performed. The talk will give audiences a deeper understanding of this new world of contemporary music and Noh.
