Discover the historic connection between Japan and Portugal through the court music of King João V .
 
Mariko Terashi is joined by Japanese born violinist Tamaki Higashi. The programme of classical music comes from the time of King João V of Portugal. It includes work by Carlos de Seixas, Pedro Lopes Nogueira, Domenico Scarlatti, Jaime de la Té y Sagau. 
 
After releasing her last CD Seixas, Rameau, Couperin, Mariko found the idea of recreating the Royal Chapel in Lisbon during the reign of  King João V. the most powerful king. Nowadays we don’t find much information as the earth quake in 1755. And removal of the court to Brazil. For this special concert   they are playing two keyboard sonatas arranged for violin & piano, the first audition in the world. 
 
All welcome - admission free .
