Natural Horn Ensemble Tokyo

Description:

Japan's first full-fledged natural horn ensemble, formed in 2016 by leading professional performers of the modern horn. The ensemble will perform works by Richter and Bellori, which are little known today; Reicher's Trio, a classic of horn ensembles; the contemporary work Kroll's "Bässler-Romanze"; and Rossini's "The Hunting Gathering," performed only with natural overtones. This is a piece that will make you rediscover the possibilities of the natural horn, an instrument with a power of expression that differs from that of the modern horn. ＜Natural Horn Ensemble Tokyo＞"Natural Horn Ensemble Tokyo" was formed in 2016 to promote the natural horn and its performance.
