On
Friday, September 28, 2007, at 8:00 PM, at the Tenri Cultural
Institute, 43A West 13th Street, ARTS AT TENRI will open its
2007-2008 season with a unique chamber music concert of piano
trios by Haydn and Beethoven, and classic music for the Japanese
sankyoku ensemble of koto, shamisen and shakuhachi.
The excellent acoustics and intimate gallery setting of the
Tenri Cultural Institute create a superb setting for listening
to chamber music, and ARTS AT TENRI offers audiences the rare
opportunity to hear both traditional and contemporary music
from two cultures in a setting similar to the music rooms
of the courts and castles of both Europe and Japan. Over 300
years of chamber music tradition will be presented throughout
this series. Piano trios and string quartets from the great
composers of Europe will alternate with music from Japan's
Edo period written for the standard trio of shamisen, koto
and shakuhachi. Contemporary music for both western and Japanese
instruments will be heard as well.
The September 28th inaugural concert showcases the programming
goal of the series by combining music from both cultures in
a single evening. The series proper will then feature monthly
performances alternating between the traditions and feature
the artistry of three distinctive ensembles: the Borromeo
String Quartet, the Albert Lotto, Natasha Lipkina, Barbara
Stein Mallow Piano Trio, and the James Nyoraku Schlefer, Masayo
Ishigure and Yumi Kurosawa Sankyoku Ensemble, among others.
