Additional info/contents	Rich and evocative! Shimmering colors in splendid variation contrast with joyfully spirited moments. A flute reminiscent of the shakuhachi delicately calls us to Japan. Sakura is Japanese for 'cherry blossom', the national flower of Japan. Here is a musical representation of the cherry blossom, which blooms suddenly every March. Great clusters of blossoms combine to form fantastic pastel clouds, but alas, within a week they wither. This symbolic seasonal occurrence clearly appeals to the Japanese sense of beauty and should also charm your audience.

Programme notes *: The "sakura" season in Japan is undoubtedly one of the country's most fascinating and culturally rich periods. Every spring, usually between March and May, the delicate cherry blossoms bloom and transform the entire country into a breathtaking sea of flowers. This natural phenomenon is not only appreciated for its aesthetic beauty, but also has deep cultural and emotional roots in Japanese society. One particularly memorable aspect is the musical interpretation of the "sakura" season. The "sakura", or cherry blossom, is a symbol of transience and beauty in Japanese culture. This metaphor is not only reflected in poetry and art, but is also expressed in music. Numerous traditional Japanese songs, both instrumental and sung, are dedicated to "sakura" and capture the mood of this time of year. One well-known example is the song "Sakura, Sakura", which is often sung in different variations. It is about the fleeting beauty of the cherry blossoms and the feeling of farewell. The gentle melodies and lyrical lyrics give the song a melancholy yet comforting atmosphere. This song is often played during cherry blossom festivals, so-called "Hanami" festivals, where people come together under the blossoming cherry trees to celebrate the beauty of nature. In addition to traditional songs, the "sakura" period has also inspired modern artists. Musicians from various genres, from pop to classical, take up the theme and integrate it into their works. The cherry blossom season often serves as a source of inspiration for melodies and lyrics that reflect people's deep connection with nature and the changing seasons. The "sakura" theme also plays an important role in instrumental music. Traditional Japanese instruments such as the koto and the shakuhachi are often used to emphasise the delicate yet powerful qualities of the cherry blossom season. The soundscapes of these instruments create an emotional connection to nature and invite you to immerse yourself in the poetic world of "sakura". To summarise, the "sakura" season in Japan is not only a visual splendour, but also has a profound influence on the country's musical culture. The combination of traditional and contemporary elements makes music the ideal accompaniment to experience and celebrate the unique atmosphere of this special time of year.
