Time: -
Location: Garuba Hall, Tokyo

The concept is that what we dream of is already here. We get together with other musicians based on a dream we've had since childhood. We explore identity and our roots. 第一回マリコマ・コンサートへご来場頂きありがとうございます。 中学校の同じクラスで出会った私達。 気づけばアメリカを拠点にするオペラ歌手、 ウィーンを拠点にするピアニストとなっていた二人。 いつか一緒に共演出来るといいね!なんて言っていた、24年前…? いつか、いつかの夢が現実となり今日のこの日となりました。 Never Say Never! 記念すべき第一回目は、身の回りにある自然、生命、愛、懐かしい気持ち、出会いと別れ。 地球のどこかにある色々な情景に目を向けて、歌いたい曲の詰め合わせ宝箱。 泣きたくなる日もイマイチな日もあるけれど、歌って笑い飛ばせるような、 ポジティブな時間を皆様と共有出来ればと思います。
