しかし蓋を開けてみれば、全く違う2種類のアンサンブルではありましたが、驚くほどスムースに連結し、エナジーを損なうことなく、かつ美しく演奏できました。いいですね。なんか、他の可能性まで見えたようなコンサートでした。お客さんにも気に入って頂けたようですし、何より我々自身が最高に楽しかったです。
このジョイント・コンサートはこの『一回限り』ではなく、長いコンサート・シリーズの『一回目』という気がします。さっそく二回目の準備に取りかかろうと思います。
タマラ、キーツ、クラリス、楽しいコンサートでした。ありがとうございました。
Tamara, Kazuo, Yuuki and I have fought side by side in Richmond County Orchestra for several years. Kazuo and Tamara had this special idea for the longest time. Maybe we can join forces and we can both profit from it. Kazuo's Japanese project, "WaFoo" & Tamara's classical trio, "Musical Chairs Chamber Ensemble (MCCE)" came together and performed. Sometimes, the process of merging two different genres of music ends up in a complete train wreck, or one side is totally disappeared and sucked into the other side. Either way it's painful. How can we combine two of quite different types of music beautifully (without catastrophe)? One is classical, the other is Japanese-influenced rock/pop/jazz/funk/fusion etc.
Seems like we have nothing in common, but surprisingly this unusual combination landed us in the whole new world with the view of the paths to a virgin soil. The audience at the concert liked us, and, more than anything, we loved ourselves playing together.
I have a good feeling that this concert is the first episode of the long interesting and exciting series of creating the new genre of music. We are going to get ready for the second episode.
Tamara, Keats and Clarice, we really enjoyed playing with you guys. Thank you very very much for the great concert.
