London-based pianist Hiroaki Takenouchi described by The Times as “just the sort of champion the newest of new music needs”, will be going through a doubly eclectic journey in his showcase programme: Not only is the selection of the pieces eclectic by itself, but at its core the amazing “Purgatory” from “Four Images After Yeats” by Jonathan Harvey stands out by tracing “every passionate event to its cause until all are related and understood, turned into knowledge, made a part of itself.” (Yeats)
“I am thrilled to be involved in this new venture CLASSICAL:NEXT. It will be really exciting to find out the new ways people are presenting classical music to wider audiences, and to challenge the sense of stalemate that those in the classical music industry are feeling the world over. And I am looking forward to meeting a lot of new people!”
