Overview

American pianist, composer, and arranger Jacob Koller (The Mad Arranger), known for his intricate jazz and classical arrangements of diverse music genres and his massive YouTube following, is embarking on a comprehensive Japan tour.

The central and moving theme of the tour is “Now, with the sound of the atomic bomb-affected piano being revived.” Koller performs on one of the “Hibaku Pianos” (atomic-bombed pianos) salvaged from the Hiroshima blast and lovingly restored by tuner Mitsunori Yagawa. The pianos, some still bearing shrapnel or glass fragments, are used to convey a powerful message of peace and remembrance for the victims, particularly commemorating the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing.

Koller’s program is a blend of emotionally resonant and technically dazzling pieces, bridging classical, folk, jazz, and pop, including:

• Prelude for Peace (dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing)
• Film Music (e.g., Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence)
• Classic Pop (e.g., Piano Man)
• Jazz Fusion (e.g., Spain)
• Japanese Folk (Moon over the Ruined Castle)

All concerts are All Seats Reserved for a single price of ¥5,500.
