Why not music inspired by art while surrounded by art? In this new series, "In the Tune of Art," we select music that matches the theme and artwork of the current exhibition and invite you to enjoy the melody in that environment. Musicians will also give special perform improvised performances inspired by the art.
For the third session, we will be presenting a classic guitar to accompany the design exhibition "PATH TO THE PERFECT CUP: Coffee Culture in Japan". LA-based musician Taro Wayama will perform classical guitar in a relaxed atmosphere, including original pieces and classical music. We will also provide samples of freshly brewed coffee to attendees.
Immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of a room filled with the aroma of coffee!
