CONCERTS
THE BEST OF KITARO WORLD TOUR - Live In Singapore 2024
After a 7 year hiatus, award-winning Japanese musician Kitaro is returning to Singapore for a 2 days only concert.
The concert will feature iconic songs and fan favorites known throughout Kitaro’s illustrious career. As a special treat, this show will feature music from Kitaro’s illustrious career that will be performed live for the first time.
As Kitaro notes, “For many years, I have always strived to create a memorable and exciting spiritual live concert experience with breathtaking visuals. This time I intended to delve deeper into my past and include music in this tour that I have not performed anywhere previously. I am grateful and appreciative to those in my audiences that have supported me throughout many decades. These performances will reflect my heartfelt delight and appreciation of those many years and many enthusiastic audiences.”
Throughout his musical career, Kitaro has been a groundbreaking artist known for his amazing live performances and music that blurs the lines between many musical genres including classical, jazz, rock, new age and world music.
Kitaro first came to public attention in 1980, when his soundtrack to the critically acclaimed documentary series “The Silk Road: The Rise And Fall Of Civilizations” captivated an international audience. Soon after relocating to America, Kitaro earned his first Grammy nomination in 1987 for “The Field,” a track from the album “The Light Of The Spirit” that was co-produced with Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead.
In 1992, Kitaro took his signature style in a distinctly unique direction on “Dream,” which featured orchestral arrangements and vocals by Yes’ Jon Anderson. In 1994, Kitaro was awarded a Golden Globe, for Best Original Score, for the Oliver Stone film “Heaven & Earth.”
After earning multiple nominations for his work, Kitaro landed his first Grammy Award in 2001 for “Thinking Of You.” Following this, Kitaro produced a number of acclaimed albums and soundtracks that included “Ancient”, “Spiritual Garden”, “Impressions Of The West Lake” as well as “Final Call”, a homage to his lifetime reverence of Nature.
In 2016, Kitaro collaborated with NASA and Kyoto University to create the “Kojiki And The Universe” film which featured time-lapse images and real-time scenes of the Universe expertly intertwined with his music.
Kitaro continues to produce the remaining albums of the Sacred Journey Of Ku-Kai series. His intention behind the series is to shine a light on an inspirational musical message to unify our cultures, consciousness and spiritual growth. A new and untitled live album with accompanying video will be released in late 2024 by Domo Records.
His upcoming immersive show promises to entertain his fans with all his greatest hits including Matsuri, Silk Road, Reimei and many more songs that haven’t been performed live before.
He will be performing at Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands on 25th and 26th June 2024 as part of his The Best Of Kitaro World Tour.

About the artist:
Russian pianist Ilya Rashkovskiy displayed exceptional musical talent from a young age, debuting at eight with the Irkutsk Chamber Music Orchestra. Throughout his remarkable career, Rashkovskiy has earned many accolades from prestigious international competitions, like the Long-J. Thibaud Competition and Hamamatsu International Piano Competition.

Join Rashkovskiy on a musical journey through a rich and varied programme. Mozart’s A minor sonata showcases the composer’s exquisite melodic craftsmanship, elegance and balance. Following this, Rachmaninoff’s Corelli Variations display technical prowess and rich romantic textures while utilising a well-known Baroque theme (‘La Folía’).
Dedicating the second half to Chopin, the 24 Preludes are a collection of miniature, evocative masterpieces that explore a kaleidoscope of emotions. Performing this cycle is no easy feat and requires exceptional stamina and musical maturity from the performer.
This recital promises an unforgettable evening of piano music for all music lovers.
Programme:
W.A.MOZART: Piano Sonata No.8 in A minor, K.310

俄罗斯钢琴家伊莱亚Ilya新加坡钢琴独奏会
俄罗斯钢琴家伊莱亚·拉什科夫斯基（Ilya Rashkovskiy）即将在今年7月5日晚8点(星期五）在新加坡维多利亚音乐厅举办钢琴独奏会。
伊莱亚·拉什科夫斯基从小就展现出非凡的音乐天赋，八岁时与伊尔库茨克室内乐团同台首演并在众多著名国际比赛中赢得了许多赞誉例如滨松国际钢琴比赛。
他的钢琴艺术在世界各地的标志性的音乐会舞台上吸引观众，他曾与法国广播和马林斯基交响乐团等著名乐团合作举办独奏音乐会，也与加里·霍夫曼（Gary Hoffman)和博索里·金 (Bomsori Kim)等艺术家作为室内乐音乐家同台演出。 自 2015 年起他作为首尔诚信女子大学的客座教授，致力于传授他的知识和音乐热情。
这次钢琴独奏会的主题明确：拉什科夫斯基会以莫扎特的《A小调奏鸣曲》 （A minor sonata）为铺垫，展现时代的纷乱与人们的忧郁，精湛的旋律展现了莫扎特的深情与成熟，同时又不忘给人们带来乐观与正能量。
接下来，拉赫玛尼诺夫（Rachmaninoff）的《柯莱里主题变奏曲》 （Corelli Variations）是他在1931年完成的最后一部钢琴独奏作品。他利用了著名的巴洛克主题 (‘La Folía’)为架构，注入自己的罗曼蒂克情怀，以20种不同的情绪，描绘人们在现实生活中百花绽放、及对浮澡社会的控诉……当晚，你将会欣赏到贝希斯坦钢琴丰富的内涵，包满和声及悲状的力量。
演奏会的后半部分：是肖邦24首前奏曲。每一首前奏曲一个音调，即12大调12小调，写尽人类的全部情感纠葛，是一系列五彩斑斓的缩影，令人回味无穷，对令人唏嘘的现实社会又很无奈。
这样的曲目组合绝非易事，需要表演者非凡的耐力，丰富的生活阅历，及对人类社会的残酷，战火纷飞的悲哀……当然，他必须对音乐有一定的的熟练度，才能发挥自如！
幸好，还有艺术！
只留下你和纯净钢琴音乐, 于维多利亚音乐厅, 享受灵魂与情感的宁静交融。
这场独奏会将为所有音乐爱好者带来一个情感的升华，也是一个难忘的钢琴音乐灵魂之旅！
