Kyushu University’s Faculty of Design is pleased to announce the fifth in the series of concerts ‘Music and the Non-Human’, which will be held on Monday, 21 October 2024 at 19:00.
The public is welcome to attend and we look forward to welcoming you.
In concert 5, Tomoko Akasaka presents two composers approaching the relationship between the spiritual non-human in vastly different ways. Johann Sebastian Bach, in the early 18th century, through his music in general and exemplarily in his suites for viola, was a composer who believed that music striving toward structural and mathematical perfection was a positive agent of Christian change in the universe. By writing and performing and listening to this music, we, and the world, becomes more perfected, more enchanted.
In Decants 4 for viola in a natural environment by Daryl Jamieson (Kyushu University assistant professor), the violist is heard as a part of the environment. Rather than seeking to perfect the world or change it, this music is intended to blend in with it, become part of it.
