Performance: Asian Music Festival 2025, Kawasaki, Japan
Japan Federation of Composers features Bruce Crossman’s Fragility and Sonorousness (pn) at Asian Music Festival 2025 in Kawasaki, Japan
Bruce Crossman’s music, Fragility and Sonorousness (piano) was given its Japanese premiere at the prestigious Asian Music Festival 2025 in Kawasaki, Tokyo, Japan. Pianist Masanobu Shinoda performed the work at Chamber Music Concert 1: Piano Plus in the beautiful MUZA Kawasaki complex, Assembly Room on February 4, 2025. This festival was organised by the Japan Federation of Composers, as part of the Asian Composers League; it is an amazingly vibrant festival, which includes composers drawn from all over the Asia-Pacific region (14 member countries), and they selected four composers from Australia this year.
In Resonate Magazine, Australian Music Centre, Andrián Pertout reviewed the performance as “a manifestation of artistry at the highest levels of compositional craft and creativity; a musical language distinctly stamped with the Crossman ‘intercultural’ label, and what I would refer to as exhibiting quasi-improvisational ‘jazz-but-not-jazz’ sensibilities that today succinctly define Crossman as a true ‘original’ of our times.”
