Programme

The concert combines the contemplative soundscapes of contemporary Japanese music with the expressive contrasts found in the works of Brahms, Ustvolskaya, Debussy and Beethoven

Christmas parties everywhere. Last-minute, frantic gift-buying. Too many invitations, lavish meals, endless plans – and that constant feeling that there’s still something left to do. What would happen if you allowed yourself a break in the midst of all this hustle and bustle?

Datsuryoku (脱力) is a Japanese concept which literally means ‘letting go of physical tension’. However, it goes beyond mere relaxation: Datsuryoku invites us to release unnecessary pressure, gently direct our attention and be fully present in the here and now.
