Japan's first Western composer ： Nobuhiro Koda(1870-1946)

Noboru Koda went to Boston in 1889 as Japan's first government-sponsored student of classical music. Dr. Makiko Hirata, "Dr. Pianist," will introduce the aesthetics and westernization of Japan immediately after the Meiji Restoration through Noboru's music and the literature of his brother ・ Rohan and niece ・ Bun.
Did you know that Rohan Koda, a great writer of the Meiji era, had two sisters who excelled in Western music? Noboru Koda was the first Japanese government-sponsored student to study in Europe and was also a full-fledged composer of Western music. Ando （ Koda ） Sachi was the first international violinist to study in Berlin. Please enjoy this little-known slice of history that interweaves Japanese literature and Western music together, with a piano performance, to see how Meiji Japan was transformed by its encounter with Western culture.

"Dr. Pianist" Makiko Hirata is actively involved in music, giving numerous concerts around the world and teaching at various educational institutions including the Colburn School of Music.

Admission is free. We look forward to seeing you all there.
