On April 28 & 29, 2022, composer Joe Hisaishi will conduct the Filharmonie Brno in two concerts entitled ‘Hisaishi Conducts Hisaishi’, featuring Maki Namekawa and Dennis Russell Davies at the piano.

This time the great figure of contemporary Japanese music will appear in Brno in person, in the double role of composer and conductor. In addition to Prokofiev and Sumera symphonies, he will lead the performance of his own minimalist work Variations 57, composed in 2019 for the piano duo Maki Namekawa – Dennis Russell Davies and the ensemble Future Band.
