Masakatsu Takagi Piano Solo Concert YMEME
Active as a musician and a filmmaker, Masakatsu Takagi has opened up a new frontier as an artist representing the new generation. With CD and DVD releases both within and outside of Japan, video installation presentations in art spaces such as art museums and galleries, collaborations and live concerts worldwide with artists of a variety of genres, directing of commercials and music videos and so on, he carries out his works unrestricted by genre.
Now, in a complete turnaround from performing on the large stage in a 10-person act, he will face the piano by himself with “Ymene” (a coined word meaning ‘roots of a dream’). Using the piano and images as tools to spin dream stories, it will be his first solo piano concert. Even though the fusion of music and images akin to a moving painting is like a new kind of expression, Takagi’s world has universality, able to sympathise with and transgress regions, time and generations. We invite you to this opportunity to experience Takagi’s world.
