snow moon flower 雪月花/ KOKO

Описание: KOKO – 雪月花 (Snow Moon Flower)

composed by Taiko Saito

Live at the Kammermusiksaal, Beethoven-Haus Bonn, February 6th 2025

A meditative and impressionistic piece from the KOKO duo, blending the delicate resonance of marimba with lyrical piano lines. Inspired by the Japanese aesthetic concept “雪月花” (snow, moon, and flower), this performance invites the listener into a quiet world of natural beauty, transience, and deep listening.

Taiko Saito – marimba
