The pianist and composer Masako Ohta sees composers who make you feel the sea in their works and those whose music feels like the flow of a river. The ocean flows through music by Johannes Brahms or Claude Debussy. There are also these composers who are closer to the river, such as Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann, who will be the subject of this concert.
"The river has the power to flow, carry, transport, connect, purify ... It tells history in a flow of time ... This time that we live and experience gives me a longing for flow and fluidity - to keep flowing, life goes on ..." (Masako Ohta)
On this evening, Masako Ohta will create a programme dedicated to flowing with compositions by Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, J. S. Bach, Kengyo Yatsuhashi and Masako Ohta, with poems by Gunna Wendt and Siegfried Völlger.
