From the Promoter
Presented in collaboration with the Groupe Le Vivier, under the 90th anniversary of Japan-Canada diplomatic relations, the Festival Accès Asie is pleased to present an evening of New Music titled Eau douce - Eau trouble. Three exceptional emerging artists, pianist Kimihiro Yasaka (piano), with the Duo AIRS, Louis-Philippe Bonin (saxophone) and David Therrien-Bongo (percussion) unite to present the different states and mutations of water through musical pieces to evoke the colors and tones of Asia.
Three themes recur in the Japanese cultural imaginary landscape, highlighted by a strong impressionist connotation associated with their titles: the mythical aspect of nature, temporality and the notion of movement.
This concert evokes both musical aesthetics and tones of instruments of traditional Japanese music as well as contemporary works. Eau douce - Eau trouble is an experience where Japan is put to more violent manifestations of the storm’s torrents. The evening’s objective is to pay tribute to music inspired by Asian folklore with a program that includes repertoire as well as works specially written for the occasion by the composer Keiko Devaux.
