Argerich & Kyoko Itoh Special Concert at NOGAKUDO 5/24/2017 (finished)
Above all else, I was really impressed with Japanese culture. It was a big joy for me to perform at special place like Noh Theater that can lead people to the world of mysterious ethereal profundity. The same was true for the performance and I fully enjoyed performing with Kyoko. Also, I think this opportunity aroused a lot of inspiration and interests in a young musician, Amabile. I am sure he learned a lot through the natural flow of music. Actually his performance was best on the day of the concert. Anyway, once again I was extremely pleased to perform in the Nogakudo and was truly impressed. Thank you.
