Noriko Shibata (Add-On)

Surrounded by greenery in Italy
Shibata’s piece is a beautiful modern piece that was performed by the Japanese Flute Ensemble on May 29, 2017 at the Alba Music Festival. This piece required the four leading flutists to stand in front of the ensemble in pairs. These pairs would then use call and response throughout the entire song. This style is interesting to watch, since there is a lot going on that one must keep an eye out for.
