Discovering Nemo Concertato

The Nemo Concertato is a musical initiative that transcends genres by focusing on early music and historical instruments. Since its inception around 2003, it has blended the talents of various musicians under the motto of "Neo-Radical Early Music Songs." In 2016, a noteworthy collaboration with composer Kosuke Tsuji, saxophonist Hiroshi Suzuki, and percussionist Takuya Nemoto resulted in the release of the CD and book "Shuntaro for Adults" with illustrations and designs by Chiaki Kawai.
