2nd day of Chatswood Festival of Music: Celebrating Woman in Music
Brass, Wind, Percussion Concert
I was deeply honored to be commissioned by Robert Oetomo, Percussion Director at Chatswood High School, to compose “Rhythm of Eucalyptus”, a mass percussion ensemble work written especially for the festival!
Inspired by the eucalyptus tree, which grows stronger and more resilient over time, I wrote this piece with the hope that the students will embrace new experiences, grow with confidence, and enjoy the wonderful journey of life.
It was a great joy to share the world premiere of “Rhythm of Eucalyptus” with these incredible young musicians, whose energy and dedication truly brought the piece to life.
It was also a very very happy time to perform the Australian premiere of my Marimba Concerto “Berry, Very Happy!” With Chatswood Wind Band and conductor Steve Hillinger.
My heartfelt thanks to Chatswood High School for inviting me and for bringing me this unforgettable experience possible.
Hope to see you again and again very soon!!!
この度、シドニーのチャッツウッド高校さんと打楽器奏者のロバート・オエトモさんから委嘱をいただき、「ユーカリの鼓動」という大きな打楽器アンサンブル曲を作曲し、世界初演を迎えることができました。
より太く、より強く成長するユーカリの木のように、たくさんの経験を重ねながら、それぞれの人生を力強く歩んでほしい、と願いを込めた作品です♪
そして、マリンバ協奏曲「一五一笑」のオーストラリア初演も実現し、皆さんとご一緒に音楽ができる喜びを分かち合えるという幸せな時間になりました♡
この素晴らしい機会をくださった Chatswood High School の皆様と、ロバート・オエトモさんに、心より感謝いたします!
