DLF-K Portrait Mayako Kubo „But I can do it through notes“

Mayako Kubo is a free composer in every sense of the word – free of the trends of the New Music movement, free in choosing her instruments, and free to adapt to the skills and traditions of any ensemble or performer; and thus, ultimately, free from any constraints of a “personal style”. The form and sound of her music may not seem particularly Japanese, but the philosophy of her artistic work speaks volumes about her heritage. (Matthias Entreß)
