In 2021, to commemorate Akihiro Miura's 60th birthday, a recital series began at Musicaza with his daughter, Maika. This sixth installment opens with Beethoven's youthful Violin Sonata No. 1. Following this, Miura tackles Bach's unaccompanied violin works, one of his life's works, and Prokofiev's Violin Sonata No. 2. These masterpieces strike a perfect balance between the depth and Russian lyricism contained within their transparent and clear melodies. Pay close attention to the dialogue between the violin and piano, and the beautiful interplay of melodies.

We present masterpieces of Noh and Kyogen depicting events on a day of heavy snowfall.

The allure of the Noh masterpiece "Dojoji" lies in the overwhelming tension and power that arises from the transition from stillness to movement. The highlight of the first half is the "bell entry" scene, where the shirabyōshi (female dancer) steps in a frenetic rhythm and leaps into the bell. The dramatic shift from there to the second half, where the demoness reappears revealing her true form, captivates the audience. It is a clash between the obsessive passion of a woman driven mad by her desires and the prayers of a monk trying to calm her. This masterpiece, which beautifully yet terrifyingly depicts the karma of humanity, is truly the essence of Noh theater.
