A year of COVID-19 pandemic with difficulties, sufferings, and anxiety under various restrictions.
Through this challenging world, we believe you all had a moment to think about co-living with an expression once again.
What is “living” as an artist?
What is “being yourself”?
What is the “only” you can do?
This project was launched from our will to think about the art for us particularly due to this current situation.We are welcoming Asuka Noda, who is engaged in performance and composition activities as a pianist despite facing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
The hour will be full of contents including a talk between Mr. Noda and a student of Tokyo University of the Arts, and a special live performance of her original song “Kokoro no Iro” (Color of the Heart) in an ensemble with Tokyo University of the Arts.Join us for the stage with a lively mixture of each individual’s “colour”.Ms Noda has progressed “onward” with the piano while overcoming many hardships.
Through this on-line stream, we hope that everyone’s hopes for living in the “onward” world will get switched “ON-“ !
