Overview
Dr. Sahoko Sato Timpone offers residencies and presentations that introduce singers, students, teachers, and audiences within universities, conservatories, and arts organizations to the rich world of Japanese Art Song (Nihon Kakyoku 日本歌曲). Through lecture–recitals, lectures masterclasses, and guided discussions, she illuminates how Western musical traditions and Japanese poetic and cultural aesthetics merge to create a distinctive and expressive repertoire, exploring how to sing or listen to this music through the lens of its language, culture, and emotion.
Each residency or presentation may be tailored to a department’s or organization’s interests, from cultural and historical exploration to practical diction and performance application, providing participants with a meaningful and accessible entry into Japanese vocal literature. Programs can be offered in English, Japanese, or bilingually, depending on the audience and setting.
