Embark on a musical journey through moonlit songs from East and West — at Hikarigaoka Art Museum, Tokyo.
On Sunday, September 14, 2025, the fifth Museum Concert will take place at the Hikarigaoka Museum of Art in Tokyo.
This year’s theme is “The Moon.”
Countless poets and composers have been inspired by its waxing and waning presence, weaving stories into verse and song.
Our program traces this luminous journey — inviting listeners to reflect on the spiral traces left by human life.
Performing is the trio Tre Passi, featuring soprano, erhu, and piano.
They will present a uniquely arranged program of moon-themed music — from classical works and film scores to beloved songs from across Asia and beyond, transcending borders and genres.
The venue, Hikarigaoka Art Museum, is a warm, wooden space filled with light and tranquility.
This marks our fifth performance in this special setting.
We hope you’ll join us.
