Toshio Hosokawa featured at festivals in Japan and Germany

This summer, Toshio Hosokawa will be featured at two important festivals, the Pacific Music Festival (PMF) in Japan and the Rheingau Musik Festival in Germany. Following his residency at PMF in 2006, Hosokawa has once again been invited to be Composer-in-Residence. In addition to a composition masterclass, there will be a portrait concert and works featured in two orchestral concerts. Of particular note is the second performance of his latest orchestral work, Cloud and Light for shô and orchestra which will be performed on 12 July following it’s world première in Saarbrücken on June 1. Over in Germany, the Rheingau Musik Festival sees two portrait concerts dedicated to Hosokawa’s music, including his masterpiece Voiceless Voice in Hiroshima conducted by Rupert Huber.
