CONCERT
After a 7 year hiatus, award-winning Japanese musician Kitaro is returning to Singapore for a 2 days only concert.
The concert will feature iconic songs and fan favorites known throughout Kitaro’s illustrious career. As a special treat, this show will feature music from Kitaro’s illustrious career that will be performed live for the first time.
As Kitaro notes, “For many years, I have always strived to create a memorable and exciting spiritual live concert experience with breathtaking visuals. This time I intended to delve deeper into my past and include music in this tour that I have not performed anywhere previously. I am grateful and appreciative to those in my audiences that have supported me throughout many decades. These performances will reflect my heartfelt delight and appreciation of those many years and many enthusiastic audiences.”
Throughout his musical career, Kitaro has been a groundbreaking artist known for his amazing live performances and music that blurs the lines between many musical genres including classical, jazz, rock, new age and world music.
Kitaro first came to public attention in 1980, when his soundtrack to the critically acclaimed documentary series “The Silk Road: The Rise And Fall Of Civilizations” captivated an international audience. Soon after relocating to America, Kitaro earned his first Grammy nomination in 1987 for “The Field,” a track from the album “The Light Of The Spirit” that was co-produced with Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead.
In 1992, Kitaro took his signature style in a distinctly unique direction on “Dream,” which featured orchestral arrangements and vocals by Yes’ Jon Anderson. In 1994, Kitaro was awarded a Golden Globe, for Best Original Score, for the Oliver Stone film “Heaven & Earth.”
After earning multiple nominations for his work, Kitaro landed his first Grammy Award in 2001 for “Thinking Of You.” Following this, Kitaro produced a number of acclaimed albums and soundtracks that included "Ancient", "Spiritual Garden", "Impressions Of The West Lake" as well as "Final Call", a homage to his lifetime reverence of Nature.
In 2016, Kitaro collaborated with NASA and Kyoto University to create the “Kojiki And The Universe” film which featured time-lapse images and real-time scenes of the Universe expertly intertwined with his music.
Kitaro continues to produce the remaining albums of the Sacred Journey Of Ku-Kai series. His intention behind the series is to shine a light on an inspirational musical message to unify our cultures, consciousness and spiritual growth. A new and untitled live album with accompanying video will be released in late 2024 by Domo Records.
His upcoming immersive show promises to entertain his fans with all his greatest hits including Matsuri, Silk Road, Reimei and many more songs that haven’t been performed live before.
He will be performing at Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands on 25th and 26th June 2024 as part of his The Best Of Kitaro World Tour.
