The Japan Foundation is pleased to present in celebration of
tanabata,
Enchanted Sky: a night of Japanese harmony.
Legend has it that star-crossed lovers Altair (cowherd star) and Vega (weaver star) have been separated by the Milky Way river under the rule of an angry king. They are allowed to meet only once a year on 7 July – the Japanese call this day
tanabata.
A constellation of harmonies with a unique blend of Western and Japanese sounds, four renowned musicians (Susumu Aoyagi on piano, Takako Hagiwara on flute,
Ayako Ishikawa on violin and Risa Kataoka on koto) will weave magical melodies from both classical and modern genres into your hearts, whilst sending their heartfelt wishes to the sky above.
Featuring a marvelling array of favourites including Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No.2, Piazzolla’s Libertango, Massenet’s Meditation from Thais, compositions from Chopin, the score from Oscar-winning film Departures, Michio Miyagi’s Haru no Umi, Rentaro Taki's Urami and more.
Tickets: $28 adult/ $20 concession.
