Kosuke Matsuda will present his solo recital on Monday, January 6th, 2025, at 5 p.m. at the Conrad Prebys Music Center Experimental Theater. This recital marks a significant milestone for Matsuda as it concludes his Doctor of Musical Arts degree and launches his 2025 season as a music performer. The concert showcases works by John Cage, Kaija Saariajo, and Hans Werner Henze, whose compositions integrate Japanese concepts of silence and sound as central musical elements. Through these pieces, Matsuda aims to explore how silence can be shaped by sound and gesture, offering a nuanced interpretation of its depth and meaning. In his doctoral research, Matsuda delved into the conceptual differences of silence in Japanese culture, analyzing its representation in literature and its influence on music. The Japanese language itself offers over seven words to express varying forms of quietness and tranquility, each with unique contextual nuances. This recital invites audiences to experience these dimensions of silence brought to life through music. This recital also serves as the beginning of Matsuda’s 2025 concert season, which will include a solo performance in Tokyo, Japan, on March 12th, 2025, and additional engagements throughout the year. Join Kosuke Matsuda on January 6th for an evening of profound musical exploration, where sound and silence intertwine to create a deeply reflective concert experience. Kosuke Matsuda, originally from Nagasaki, Japan, began his career as a percussionist, deeply inspired by the natural soundscape of his hometown. Matsuda pursued a master’s degree at Aichi University of the Fine Arts. He continued his studies in the United States, earning a second master’s degree and Artist Diploma at the Frost School of Music, University of Miami.
