Review of The Spirit of Japanese Percussions in Venice Venice, Conservatorio di Musica Benedetto Marcello, 21 February 2022

Abstract

The Aesthetics of Emptiness was one of the first live music festivals after the long period of the pandemic. The Venetian public was excited to finally hear and see live energy at the Venetian Conservatory’s concert hall. Following the introductory words presenting Trio Munedaiko, the collective destined to open this historical festivity of Japanese music, culture, spirit and art, the concert hall went dim, expecting the unpredictable: a concert of solely Japanese percussions.
