Resonances: Music from Japan is a rare opportunity to hear spellbinding works for one and two pianos by several of Japan’s foremost composers. This concert reveals the unique resonances created by blending two pianos into one sonic entity, while also tracing the lineage of Japan’s French school of composition, fathered by Tomojiro Ikenouchi and pushed into bold new directions by his students Akira Miyoshi, Akio Yashiro and Shin-ichiro Ikebe. Several of the works on the program were recorded for the first time by the Kawabata-Go Piano Duo on their CD, Five Rocks in a Japanese Garden, and receive their first Australian performance in this concert.
