In 2007, a Noh performer, Ryoko Aoki, performed Joji Yuasa's "Snow Falling Down" (1972) 35 years after it was first premiered. It inspired many young composers and musicians and it led to a number of innovative collaborations with her.
In this project, ensemble-no, which was founded by Ryoko Aoki, will commission six well-known young international composers and will premiere their new works. The project includes four concerts that will be presented by each of six composers. In the first half of each concert, the composers will talk about their own work, and in the second a new piece will be performed. The talk by composers will give the audience a deeper understanding of this new world of contemporary music and Noh. enseDuring last season, ensemble-no completed Vol. 1 of this project to some acclaim. This year Vol. 2 will be shown at an exciting new venue, SHIBAURA HOUSE in Tokyo, built by the well-known architect, Kazuyo Sejima. ensemble-no is active with concerts not only in Japan but also in Europe.
