* ■Make chamber music more accessible. Bring deep music full of peace to your daily life. *
Dai Miyata and Koichi Yokomizo* “We want to deliver a music festival where you can enjoy high-quality chamber music in a relaxed manner!”* “Chamber Music Festival AGIO” was held last year with this in mind. In response to their call, the performance with friends who shared their thoughts gave us a sense of intimacy despite the harshness, and allowed us to fully enjoy the splendor of the ensemble.
This time, the second time, in addition to last year’s members, *Fumiaki Miura*, *Ren Goko*
A powerful player will also be added. A colorful and gorgeous ensemble created by master craftsmen. What kind of chemical reaction does the fusion of individuality and individuality cause? We bring you the charm of chamber music with combinations that can only be heard here. Please enjoy a relaxing and fulfilling time.
