Sound = AUN J CLASSIC ORCHESTRA
AUN J CLASSIC ORCHESTRA is a Japanese instrument focused musical unit with a unique sound. They have performed at various World Heritage Sites around the world, including Mont Saint-Michel and Angkor Wat.
Entertainment = H ZETTRIO
H ZETTRIO is a piano trio known for their groovy, rhythmical music and humorous permonces that enrapture the hearts of every listener.
On June 29 (Saturday) and July 28 (Sunday) 2019, these two groups will perform together in an offertory concert at World Heritage Sites, a type of live that is extremely rare.
Munakata Taisha, facing the sea of the Genkai Pass, a prominent fishing spot in Fukuoka, is a shrine with a rich history that contributed to the cultural exchanges between Japan and the Korean Peninsula. The facility is actively involved in environmental preservation projects. It has hosted the MUNAKATA Eco - 100 International Symposium in recent years.
Kinpusenji Zaodo Hall, a World Heritage Site in Nara, the ancient capital of Japan, is located on Mount Yoshino, a famous cherry viewing place sung in poems since antiquity.
Regarding the reason why they chose World Heritage Sites surrounded by nature as venues for their concerts, AUN J CLASSIC ORCHESTRA said: “Humans can create new things and step forward toward their future only if they coexist with nature. This is the message we wanted to transmit.”
H ZETTRIO has participated in the Montreux Jazz Festival (Switzerland), Fuji Rock Festival and other large festivals in Japan and abroad. Performing live at World Heritage Sites will be a new approach for them and their fans’ expectations are really high. In recent years they have been running the program called “SPEED MUSIC”, in which they weekly perform covers of famous songs using original arrangements out of the wish to transmit hit songs of the past to the new generations.
Due to the fact that these concerts will be held at World Heritage SItes and that the seats are limited, the tickets might get sold out immediately.
In order to have as many people as possible witness these amazing concerts, they will be broadcast live by MATCHA, one of the largest platforms offering information on traveling in Japan.
A collaboration between AUN J CLASSIC ORCHESTRA, who brings the sound of Japan to the world, and H ZETTRIO, who delivers the entertainment of music through a new type of jazz.
