About this Event
More Details
What happens when two composers from radically different musical worlds are heard in the same space?
CONTOURS: Ryuichi Sakamoto × Tchaikovsky brings together the atmospheric, intimate sound world of Ryuichi Sakamoto and the deeply emotional musical language of Pyotr Tchaikovsky in an evening of chamber music exploring sound, silence, memory and space.
The Programme
Part I — Ryuichi Sakamoto
A curated selection from Sakamoto’s distinctive late sound world, including:
- Aqua
- Rain
- Bibo no Aozora
- The Revenant Main Theme
- Lack of Love
- 1919
- Andata
Together, these works explore the delicate boundaries between sound and silence, presence and disappearance.
Part II — Pyotr Tchaikovsky
Piano Trio in A Minor, Op. 50
A single, expansive musical arc moving through grief, memory and emotional transformation — from turbulence and remembrance towards profound stillness.
