3days stay in New York this time. My string trio "Three Voices" received its U.S. premiere this evening at Music From Japan festival. Thank you so much for a very intense and beautiful performance by a truly amazing Momenta Quartet. Then, I immediately went to JFK after the concert and off to Frankfurt---!
　ニューヨークでの3日間。ミュージック・フロム・ジャパンフェスティバルにて、弦楽トリオのための《三つの聲》がアメリカ初演されました。やっぱりこの曲、私の創作人生においてとても大事な作品だとあらためて思いました。お世話になった皆さま、ありがとうございました。ほっとして、そのままフランクフルトへ〜
