This unique concert, curated by Dr Amanda Hsieh, presents a selection of extremely beautiful early twentieth-century Japanese art songs, rarely heard in the UK. Music by composers such as Rentarō Taki, Kōsaku Yamada and Tatsunosuke Kishitani will be interwoven with European songs and operatic excerpts, just as they would have been performed in their original context.
