Saxophone player Yasuaki Shimizu and his all-sax group are always searching for new and unusual spaces in which to perform. For their next concert, they’ll play at a sculpture garden at the foot of Mt. Fuji. Known for pioneering saxophone interpretations of Bach, Shimizu has also worked with pop figures like Ryuichi Sakamoto and Bill Laswell. The occasion for the concert is the opening of a new show by contemporary Italian sculptor Giuliano Vangi. At sunset before the concert, candles will be lit on the paths leading to the museum, forming a constellation of stars illuminating the garden and artworks.
