第３回リベルタンゴ国際音楽コンクール１位(2009)、アメリカのIma Hogg コンクール１位（2005)、国際マリンバコンクール２位(2003)、ほか多数のコンクールで数々の受賞暦をもつマリンバ奏者の布谷史人（ぬのやふみと）氏。毎年、この時期ドイツから帰国して各地で演奏会や個人指導、またコンクールの審査員を務めるなど活動をしています。昨年１月にTV番組「ぐっと地球便」で紹介されてから日本でも一般の中で布谷さんを知る方が増えました。
さて、そんな世界的に活躍する布谷さんが古民家の多賀あさひやで演奏会をして、かれこれ９年になります。ある音楽雑誌に「布谷史人が何故多賀あさひやなのか？」と書かれたことがあります。普段、立派なホールや音響設備の整った会場で演奏する布谷さんが田舎の古民家の前数列は座布団席の会場で演奏会をするのですから不思議に思われるのも無理はありません。主催者の私自身が布谷さんとのご縁に驚いているのですから。
布谷さんの創り出す叙情的な音楽表現は世界的に高く評価され、彼の息遣いやマレットの動きなどを間近で見てその音楽に浸りたいという方が県外からも多数来られます。普段のコンサートにはない、途中の質問タイムも多賀コンサートだけで、お客様はもちろん演奏者自身も大変楽しみにしてくださっています。
コンサートは１０/４(Sun)１３時と１７時。１３時は残りわずか。１７時はお席にまだまだ余裕がございます。お申し込みはFBか0749-48-0186（多賀あさひや）まで。
Marimbist Fumito Nunoya, who has won First Prize at the 3rd Libertango International Competition (2009), First prize at the Ima Hogg Young Artists Competition (2005), Second Prize at Percussive Arts Society International Marimba Competition (2003). and other numerous awards in a large number of competitions, will be coming to Taga Asahiya for his concert. He is usually living in Germany, but comes to Japan for his concerts, private lessons, competitions where he serves a judge. Since he was introduced at the Japanese TV program last January, he became more popular in Japan.
It has been nearly nine years since Mr. Nunoya, who performs on the global stage, began holding concerts at my place, Taga Asahiya.
A few years ago, there was an article in a music magazine asking why an internationally recognized player, Nunoya, had his concert at Taga Asahiya which is a simple Japanese traditional house. I totally agree with the writer of this article. Indeed I, the organizer myself, am amazed at my connection with Mr. Nunoya.
The music which was created by Nunoya is highly acclaimed worldwide. In order to listen to his marimba music and watch his breathing and the movement of the mallets closely, many people come to the concert not only from inside Shiga prefecture but also from outside Shiga. During the Taga concert only, there is a Q&A session which is unlike typical concerts. The performer himself, as well as the audience, are greatly looking forward to it.
Concert will be held on October 4th at 13:00 and 17:00. To sign up, please call 0749-48-0186 (Taga Asahiya).
