From 7 to 14 September, I will be one of the guest composers at the Takefu International Music Festival. During the festival, I will give a talk about my music, and on 13 September Nozomi Ueda, Tomoki Tai and Junko Yamamoto will give the Japanese première of The people here go mad. They blame the wind.

I can’t wait to be in Japan for the very first time, to work with these talented musicians and discuss music with all the other composers involved!
