Heisei College of Music, Composition Course. Studied composition and conducting under Keizo Ideta, piano under Chinami Kira, and arts management under Takuma Konishi. With a focus on community and music, I work to revitalize my hometown of Saga Prefecture. While performing as a double bassist with wind ensembles and orchestras across Kyushu, I participated on double bass in the “Orchestra Without Borders” orchestra camp of the professional game and anime music ensemble Eminence Orchestra, held in Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture in September 2012. During CAPCOM’s Kyushu Tour in 2016, I not only performed as an orchestra member but also served on the production staff. I currently serve as the managing representative for the game and anime performance groups Elysion Philharmonic Orchestra (Saga Prefecture) and Fukuoka Game Music Wind Orchestra (Fukuoka Prefecture), and handle conducting, arranging, and public relations.

Let me introduce Georg Philipp Telemann, a German Baroque composer who holds a Guinness World Record and is synonymous with the dining-music style Tafelmusik.

Telemann is said to have composed over 4,000 works and left behind many masterpieces.

Though active in Germany, he was also popular in France.

Telemann himself was a superb musician who played many instruments, including the violin, organ, harpsichord, recorder, and lute, and he was such a master that top-tier musicians invited him to perform with them.

It is very difficult to choose from among Telemann’s many great works, but I have selected some representative masterpieces and outstanding performances, and I hope you will give them a listen.
