< CONTOURS: Ryuichi Sakamoto × Tchaikovsky> brings two contrasting musical worlds together in an intimate chamber concert at St James’s Church, Sussex Gardens.
The programme features a curated selection of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s atmospheric works, including Aqua, Rain, Bibo no Aozora and Andata, followed by Tchaikovsky’s monumental Piano Trio in A Minor, Op. 50.
Exploring sound, silence, memory and space, the concert invites audiences to experience music within the resonant historic interior of St James’s Church.
Featuring pianist Myunghan Kim, violinist June Lee and cellist Joseph Barker.
