From a media release - (Le) Poisson Rouge plays host to two benefits to aid Japan
YOKO ONO & FRIENDS TO JAPAN WITH LOVE
featuring Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band, Patti Smith with Tony Shanahan, & Cibo Matto
Tue., March 29, 2011 / 10:00 PM
(Le) Poisson Rouge is proud to host YOKO ONO & FRIENDS TO JAPAN WITH LOVE, a benefit for relief efforts in Japan. Performers will include Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band, Patti Smith with Tony Shanahan, and Cibo Matto. We hope you'll join us for this important benefit event.
oko Ono is a multi-media artist who constantly challenges and stretches the traditional boundaries of sculpture, painting, theater and music. Her seminal performance art, experimental films and collaborative music with John Lennon, and international one- woman shows and retrospectives illustrate her varied career.
In 2009 Yoko revived the Plastic Ono Band concept and recorded her 17th album “Between My Head and the Sky” to critical acclaim. On the Billboard Dance Charts Yoko has had 6 Number Ones. Last year she sold out two concerts at the Orpheum Theatre in LA, and earlier this month appeared at SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas.

Mr. Kigawa will perform solo piano pieces by leading Japanese composers: Joule by Dai Fujikura, Haiku for Pierre Boulez by Tohio Hosokawa, ATARDECER/A RETRACED by Hiroya Miura, Crystalline by Karen Tanaka; as well as works by composers who had great affection for Japanese culture: Images Book I by Claude Debussy, and Trois Mouvements de Petrouchka by Igor Stravinsky. [The program is subject to change.]

Taka Kigawa, piano
Critically acclaimed pianist Taka Kigawa has earned outstanding international recognition as a recitalist, soloist, and chamber music artist since winning First Prize in the prestigious 1990 Japan Music Foundation Piano Competition in Tokyo, and the Diploma Prize at the 1990 Concurs Internacional Maria Canals De Barcelona in Spain, with such accolades from The New York Times as “Mr. Kigawa’s feat deserves the highest praise, especially since it was combined with such alacrity and sensitivity to the musical material ... brilliantly done … a careful and serious-minded musician, quietly poetic and considerate” and from The New Yorker “Unbelievably challenging program. Kigawa is a young artist of stature.”
