DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:As a special highlight of the evening, Tee& is delighted to present=0D=0Athe Tokyo International Gagaku Orchestra.=0D=0A=0D=0AStudents and faculty from Tokyo University of the Arts will bring the=0D=0Aancient Japanese court music of Gagaku to Planten un Blomen — and=0D=0Ayou can experience it live with us!=0D=0A=0D=0AFollowing the ikebana lecture by artist Yusui Uchiyama at 6 p.m., the=0D=0Aconcert will begin at 7 p.m. with a short introduction by Sophie=0D=0ASteiner, award-winning harpist and Artistic Director of the Shirabe=0D=0AFestival. You will then have the rare opportunity to listen to the=0D=0Aancient sounds of ritual music once performed at the Japanese imperial=0D=0Acourt.=0D=0A=0D=0AGagaku, literally “elegant music,” is Japan’s ancient court=0D=0Amusic and one of the world’s oldest orchestral traditions still=0D=0Aperformed today. Its roots go back more than a thousand years:=0D=0Ainfluences from China, Korea, and other parts of Asia were absorbed at=0D=0Athe Japanese imperial court and developed into a unique art form=0D=0Acombining ceremony, ritual, dance, and instrumental music.=0D=0A=0D=0AFor listeners accustomed to Western music, Gagaku may at first defy=0D=0Aexpectations. Its sound can seem unfamiliar, raw, or even cacophonous=0D=0Abefore its inner calm and order begin to emerge. Yet that is precisely=0D=0Awhat makes it so fascinating: the floating chords of the shō mouth=0D=0Aorgan, the piercing tone of the hichiriki, the bright sound of the=0D=0Aryūteki transverse flute, and the accents of drums and gong create=0D=0Amusic of stillness, breath, and deep concentration. It invites=0D=0Alisteners to set aside familiar ways of hearing and allow each=0D=0Aindividual sound to unfold.=0D=0A=0D=0AThis concert is made possible by our arts sponsor, Will IT GmbH.=0D=0A=0D=0AWill IT GmbH specializes in cloud solutions, Microsoft cloud services,=0D=0Aand IT transformation.
