国際的なアンサンブル INTERWOVEN による室内コンサートの新しいシリーズである AMI の 3 つのコンサートの最初のコンサートをCRS のホワイト ルームで、開催します。 第一回目のコンサートは9月24日（土）午後7時30分より、木村伶香能（箏・三味線）、徳永慶子（ヴァイオリン）、Kyle Miller（ヴィオラ）、玉木光　（チェロ）が出演。 日本や西洋の作曲家による作品を演奏する予定です。

NTERWOVENは、グラミー賞受賞者である徳永慶子によって設立された室内アンサンブルで、さまざまな場所や時間の音をひとつにまとめることを使命としています。このアンサンブルの名前は、音楽制作は、多様な起源、伝統、素材を表す糸で織られたタペストリーを作るようなものだという考えから由来します。

Amiは日本語では「編む」、多くのロマンス語では「友」を意味します。異なる文化的背景を持つミュージシャンが集まり、西洋音楽と非西洋音楽、伝統と現代を並べて演奏することで、異なる背景を持つお客様に、馴染みのない伝統に見られる不思議と共通点を紹介し、異文化間のつながりを強化することを願っています。

チケットは 30 ドルで、eventbrite.comで購入できます。売り切れでなければ、現金にて当日券を購入できます。入場には、例外なく予防接種の証明書を提示していただきます’。マスクの着用をお願いしています。

CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing)の練習とプログラムの基礎を成すのは、深いリスニングです。提供されるあらゆるサービスなどの気を散らすものから解放され、、深く耳を傾けることで、私たちが知覚や思考を手放し、ただ経験する機会をシャアしたいと考えています。

シリーズの第 2 回コンサートは 10 月 8 日、韓国の管楽器奏者gaminが 2 つのバイオリンとビオラでKi Young Kim, Theodore Wiprud, William Cooper, と共に演奏予定。 3 回目のコンサートは 10 月 29 日、Andy Lin (二胡/ヴィオラ) が出演し、Chen Yi の弦楽四重奏のためのフィドル組曲やその他の作品を演奏します。

Winner of the 2019 GRAMMY Award for Best Chamber Music/ Small Ensemble Performance, violinist KEIKO TOKUNAGAspends most of her days touring and performing globally as a soloist and chamber musician. Keiko has performed, toured and recorded extensively with the internationally acclaimed Attacca Quartet from 2005 to 2019, and has been praised by the Strings Magazine for possessing a sound “with probing quality that is supple and airborne” and for her “pure, pellucid bow strokes”. She has soloed with various orchestras including the Spanish National Orchestra, Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona i Nacional de Catalunya and Virginia Arts Festival Chamber Orchestra.

In 2021, Keiko founded an online concert series, Jukebox Concerts, in order to provide artistic outlets for musicians who lost their engagements due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The performances were made available not only to the subscribers, but also to residents of nursing homes, hospitals and assisted living facilities across the country. Later in the year, she created INTERWOVEN, a multi-cultural ensemble whose mission is to eliminate discrimination against the AAAPI (Asians, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders) community by integrating the musical traditions of the East and West.

While Keiko played the Attacca Quartet, the ensemble won numerous prestigious awards including the GRAMMY Award for Best Small Ensemble Performance, First Prize of the 7th Osaka International Chamber Music Competition in 2011; the Third Prize and the Australian Broadcast Corporation Classic FM Listener’s Choice Award of the 6th Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition in 2011. The Attacca Quartet served as the Graduate String Quartet in Residence at The Juilliard School from 2011 till 2013, and as artist-in-residence at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the 2014-15 season.

When she is not on the road, Keiko enjoys her career as an educator. She is currently on faculty at Fordham University. In the past, she taught at The Juilliard School Pre-College Division; the Hunter College of New York; New York University; the Port Townsend Chamber Music Festival; and Boston University’s Tanglewood Institute.
