”Seeing, hearing, reading” the music of the future through various links
We cheered on the composer, Masahiro Miwa, who has come to portray himself as a unique figure in the Japanese world of music along with the exceptional joy that followed him being awarded two awards at “Musica Cras Gifu” hosted at the Salamanca hall. Namely, the 2020 Suntory Music Award (Masahiro Miwa) and Keizo Saji Award (Salamanca hall).
In commemoration of that and thinking about the future of music from Gifu, he held the “Musica Cras Gifu 2022” as a nationwide event planned to have a profound meaning.
