Goethe-Institut Japan

Concert Atem-Breath...

In her solo programAtem–Breath, Masako Ohta combines works by Japanese and Western composers with her own compositions, inspired by the Japanese artist Rei Naito, whose delicate, “breathing” visual worlds have significantly shaped the concert’s concept. The repertoire ranges from Hosokawa, Takemitsu and Cage to Ryuichi Sakamoto. The program opens a sound space between stillness and movement, intuition and structure – a concert that makes breath audible. The concert takes place on April 12 in the hall of the Goethe-Institut.
