SUMMARY:The Imperial Buddhist Convents: Their World and Culture「尼門跡寺院の世界」展
DESCRIPTION:An Exhibition in celebration of the Imperial Buddhist Convents of Japan\nCome to Tokyo and join us in 2009 in celebrating the 1000-year history of Japan’s Imperial Buddhist Convents and the Empresses\, Princesses\, and Imperial Nuns who led them. We are honoring these eminent women in an unprecedented exhibition of 200 treasures recreating their worlds and their convents. \nA Hidden Heritage Treasures of Japanese Imperial Convents \nOrganized by:\nMedieval Japanese Studies Institute (Kyoto)\nTokyo University of the Arts \nSponsored by: \n\nSankei Newspaper (Tokyo)\n\nSupported by: \n\nWorld Monuments Fund (New York)\nFoundation for Cultural Heritage and Art Research (Tokyo)\nTiffany & Co. (New York and Tokyo)\nCanon\nOthers\n\nThe Imperial Buddhist Convents (ama monzeki) are an important heritage not only of Japan but also of the world. Focusing on the venerable nuns who founded the Imperial Buddhist Convents and those who revived these institutions at key junctures over the centuries\, this exhibition traces their histories and introduces their elegant world and special culture. Giving attention to the uniqueness of each of the 13 remaining convents\, the exhibition also hopes to raise awareness within and beyond Japan for the need to protect these cultural treasures for future generations. \nOther events are being planned in conjunction with the Exhibition that include a Concert of Sacred Gagaku Music by the Columbia Gagaku Instrumental Ensemble of New York. \nFor future updates see: www.chusei-nihon.net \nCurated by \n\nPatricia Fister\, Medieval Japanese Studies Institute\, International Research Center for Japanese Studies\nMonica Bethe\, Medieval Japanese Studies Institute\, Ōtani University\nMiki Hanabusa\, Medieval Japanese Studies Institute\nMasato Satsuma\, Tokyo University of the Arts\nHiroko Yokomizo\, Tokyo University of the Arts\nRyō Furuta\, Tokyo University of the Arts

DESCRIPTION:On the Occasion of its 40th Anniversary\nthe Institute for Medieval Japanese Studies\nColumbia University\, New York City\nwill presentAncient Soundscapes: New Echoes\nA Symposium and Musicale \ncelebrating\nComposer Toshi Ichiyanagi and his Ensemble Origin\n“New Music on Reborn Ancient Eurasian Instruments”  \nSponsored by:\nEnsemble Origin 2008 Tour\nSennen no Hibiki (A Millennium of Resonance) \nIn cooperation with:\nThe Center for Ethnomusicology\nThe Donald Keene Center of Japanese Culture \nThe Shōsōin Repository in Nara\, Japan contains the world’s most precious collection of ancient Asian musical instruments\, collected and loved by Japanese Emperor Shōmu and donated as offerings to the Buddha by Empress Kōmyō at his death in 756. \nPanelists will discuss (with use of visual and audio media) the cultural history of these instruments; review the process of reclaiming ancient instruments and scores from the Shōsōin as well as from archaeological sites across Asia and from paintings; and give an overview of restoration and reconstruction projects in Japan based on Shōsōin instruments and explain professional attempts to resurrect their original sound\, aesthetic\, spiritual and performance roles. \nThe eminent composer Toshi Ichiyanagi will share his ten-year experience with reconstructed ancient Asian instruments and will show the methods used to restore the kugo and hōkyō. Such instruments\, as well as the shō\, u\, mei\, hichiriki\, and ōhichiriki\, will also be played\, and their potential for musicians and composers will be demonstrated. \nMr. Ichiyanagi will also explain the formation of his Ensemble Origin to play these instruments\, its relation to ancient gagaku\, its international character\, and its use as a medium for new music. \nA roundtable discussion on “New Music on Reborn Ancient Eurasian Instruments” by eminent modern composers who have composed for traditional Japanese instruments will follow\, as well as questions from the audience. \nThe program will conclude with a musical Hors d’oeuvre where participating musicians (including Columbia students) will play an array of short pieces from gagaku\, restored pieces\, and Mr. Ichiyanagi’s own compositions\, and others\, to demonstrate the range of possibilities of these wonderful instruments and to whet the appetite of the symposium audience for the full Carnegie Zankel Hall Ensemble Origin concerts that follow on the next two days\, March 14 and 15\, 2008. \nA celebratory reception will follow.

SUMMARY:"The Ancient Asian Harp Reborn\," an Illustrated Lecture and Concert
DESCRIPTION:Bo Lawergren (Professor Emeritus\, Hunter College) and Tomoko Sugawara (Harpist and Kugo Player) \nThe angular harp\, with an L-shaped body\, arose in Mesopotamia around 2000 BCE and\, following the Silk Road\, reached China and eventually Korea and Japan. Artists in all the cultures it penetrated loved to depict its beautiful shape and their local musicians playing it. Around the year 1000 CE\, however\, the European harp of irregular triangular shape emerged\, and by 1600 the angular harp vanished. Recently\, music archeologists have reconstructed the angular harp (called the kugo in Japan and konghou in China). The lecture will include a kugo performance of resurrected ancient tunes from T’ang China and Nara Japan as well as modern pieces composed for the kugo. \nCo-sponsored by the Donald Keene Center of Japanese Studies\, as part of the of the “Ancient Soundscapes: New Echoes from Japan’s Musical Past” Program Series

Her instrument\, the sho;\, is a mouth organ introduced from China in the Nara period (A.D. 710-784) and is associated with gagaku\, Japan’s court music. Ms. Miyata is active in promoting new gagaku pieces by Takemitsu\, Ichiyanagi\, Ishii\, Eloy\, Cage\, Mefano\, Yuasa\, Hosokawa\, Artaud\, Staebler and Giuliano\, many of which have been written especially for her. \nIn 1986\, Ms. Miyata was the featured artist in Eloy’s four-hour work\, “Anahata” (Creation)\, commissioned for the Festival d’Automne de Paris\, and that same year was introduced in a concert series entitled\, “Today’s Performer Series IV” in Japan. She is a member of the Tokyo Gakuso and Reigakusha and since 1979\, has been taking part in gagaku performances at the National Theatre in Tokyo. In 1983\, she was invited to perform as a soloist in the Japanese Arts Festival in six major European cities and also presented her first solo recital in Tokyo. She has given recitals throughout the world\, at events including Darmstadt Summer Course\, Frankfurt Festival\, Donaueschinger Musiktage and Akiyoshidai International Contemporary Music Seminar & Festival. In addition to her appearance in 1987\, Ms. Miyata participated in Music From Japan’s 1995 season as a featured performer in New York\, Toronto\, and Washington\, D.C. and also appeared with Reigakusha in the Lincoln Center Festival in 1996. \nMayumi Miyata was born in Tokyo and began learning gagaku after studying as a piano major at Kunitachi College of Music. While still a student\, she started to study the sho under Ono Tadamaro of the Imperial Household Agency. Since her debut as a soloist\, she has continued to present the distinctive and scintillating sounds of the sho; to an appreciative and ever-growing audience. \n\n\nTHE MODERATOR & INTERPRETER\nSharon Ann Nakazato\, who holds Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from the University of Michigan\, spent eight years studying and working in Japan. She worked for three years as English editor of The East\, and has also published articles in both English and Japanese. Her specialties as translator include arts and cultural history\, literature and Buddhist studies. She is a licensed teacher of shodo; (Japanese brush calligraphy) and has lectured on many topics in both English and Japanese. She is presently writing and teaching American language and culture to Japanese people and also Japanese language to Americans. \n\n\nTHE COMPOSERS\nToshio Hosokawa\, composer\, lecturer\, and essayist in high repute throughout Europe and Japan\, has been credited for creating “a dashing glossary of avant-garde techniques.” He was Composer-in-Residence at the Salzburg Mozarteum and has been a guest composer and lecturer at numerous contemporary music festivals in Europe. \nThe New York Times recently lauded Karen Tanaka as one of the outstanding young Japanese composers of our time\, and also described her work as “dynamic and atmospheric.” A Paris-based composer\, she is the recipient of commissions from the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Radio France. She studied composition with Miyoshi Akira in Tokyo\, with Tristan Murail in Paris\, and with Luciano Berio in Florence. \nLois V Vierk‘s new CD “River Beneath the River” was released by Tzadik Records earlier this year. While she has spent most of her career in New York City\, her music has achieved an impressive international reputation. Ms. Vierk was commissioned by the Lincoln Center Festival to compose “Silversword” for the gagaku orchestra\, Reigakusha of Tokyo\, and by the Barbican Center to compose “River Beneath the River” for the Kronos Quartet. This piece has been performed by the Quartet many times. Music From Japan also commissioned her to compose for percussion and gagaku flute\, ryuteki. Among the many other performers and presenters who have commissioned her are Bang On A Can Festival\, Ensemble Modern\, L’Art Pour L’Art\, the Relâche Ensemble\, pianists Ursula Oppens\, Frederic Rzewski\, Aki Takahashi\, and Margaret Leng Tan\, and accordionist Guy Klucevsek. Ms. Vierk studied gagaku for 10 years in Los Angeles with Mr. Suenobu Togi\, formerly of Japan’s Gagaku Imperial Court Orchestra (Kunaicho; gakubu)\, and in Tokyo for two years with Mr. Sukeyasu Shiba of the same ensemble.
