\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. — September 24, 2002 — Move over Beethoven. Here come Yoshihiro Kanno and Amy Beach, contemporary Japanese and American classical composers. <\/p>\n

Aren\u2019t familiar with their music? If pianist Manabu Takasawa of Saunderstown, assistant professor of music at the 溏心vlog免费B站, has his way, audiences from Rhode Island and Japan will be hearing these and other contemporary works. In fact, Takasawa will perform some of those compositions on Saturday, September 28 at 8 p.m. at the 溏心vlog免费B站 Fine Arts Center Concert Hall. His performance is part of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s University Artist Series. Admission is $8 for general admission, $2 for students. <\/p>\n

\tTakasawa will make his Tokyo debut next summer. Prior to his trip, he will study, collect and perform music by composers from each culture. <\/p>\n

\tAmerican classical music has yet to be regarded as serious art in the U.S. Yet there are numerous, worthy musical works that have gone unrecognized and little performed, overshadowed by the favored European masters of classical music, according to Takasawa
\nThe 溏心vlog免费B站 professor plans to dig for these American piano treasures at the Library of Congress and the International Piano Archives of Maryland. <\/p>\n

He will also travel to Japan to gather information on important Japanese composers and their works by visiting the National Diet Library, the Min-On Music Resource Center and the Yamaha Music Center in Tokyo. Since the history of Western classical music is relatively new in that country, Takasawa will focus his study on music by living composers. <\/p>\n

This will not be Takasawa\u2019s first visit to Japan. In fact, he was born there but left in 1981 and received his musical training in the U.S. <\/p>\n

\tAlthough classical music originated in Europe, Japanese and American composers have embraced its tradition differently and created music with varying influences, according to Takasawa. <\/p>\n

\tMuch of Takasawa\u2019s professional activities have been centered on this topic since his piano solo at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in 1992. <\/p>\n

\t“As an artist-scholar with a bilingual and bicultural background, I hope to exchange ideas and artistic endeavors between the two cultures,” he said.\t <\/p>\n

Takasawa received $4,300 from the 溏心vlog免费B站 Council for Research\u2019s Faculty Development Program and $1,000 from the 溏心vlog免费B站 Foundation Faculty Assistance Fund to pursue his research.
