Hosokawa was born in Hiroshima following World War II, Hosokawa has composed a number of works (including Memory of the Sea and Voiceless Voice in Hiroshima) and we found that he express a deeply personal connection to those who have found themselves victims to disasters – both present and historical. After the Tohoku Earthquake on 11th March 2011, this gave Hosokawa time to contemplate more deeply what it is 'to live', Hosokawa draws listeners' attention to the strength of people in the face of the unimaginable. The children improvised, compose and perform confidently on violin and glockenspiel. | | | |
