~Renewal Commemoration~ Announcement of "Salon Concert" to be held (September 9st)
For Hotel GrandBach, which boasts a tranquil hotel space, "music" is the very reason for the brand's existence.
Hotel GrandBach Kyoto Select will hold a salon concert to commemorate its renewal. Ten years after its opening in 2014, the hotel is now being reborn as a lifestyle hotel, and guests are invited to enjoy the music and food experience at the bar and lounge "Magdalena," which will be a new facet of the hotel. For the first salon concert since the renewal, we will be welcoming guitarist Tomomi Kono, who has won awards at competitions both in Japan and abroad, including the Tokyo International Guitar Competition and the Asia International Guitar Competition, and who pursues "comfortable music" while carving out her own unique repertoire that is not bound by genre. Enjoy this wonderful Saturday Live, which is only available for one day, with her emotional sound and warm music.This concert is also open to non-guests..
After the live performance, the headphone booth, which is usually only available to overnight guests, will be open for the day only. While looking at the stylish retro record jackets, choose your favorite record (about 200 pieces) and your favorite headphones (three types available), and enjoy the depth and unique flavor of music that you can't get with digital sound while sipping a cocktail.

Flute Tomomi KOHNO

In addition to winning the Classical Guitar Competition, he has won prizes at competitions both in Japan and abroad, including the Tokyo International Guitar Competition and the Asia International Guitar Competition. He has released CDs from R. Infini: "Prayer" (2013), a collection of jazz classical works "Luxe" (2015), an all-Bach album "The BACH" (2017), and a collection of Spanish works "The Spain" (2019), all of which were selected as special albums by the Record Geijutsu magazine. In particular, the album "Luxe," which focuses on contemporary composer guitarists, was praised by music critic Shigeo Hamada as "the highest achievement among guitar albums."
In 2020, he performed two of the great guitar concertos, "Concierto de Aranjuez" and "Fantaisie for a Gentleman" at Suntory Hall under the direction of the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra and Toshiaki Umeda. The live recording was released in the fall and was recommended by the Asahi Shimbun. It is said to be the world's first attempt to release a live recording of the two great guitar concertos. His music has been praised for its "emotional and warm sound that touches the heart" and "music that touches the hearts of listeners." He also teaches and trains the next generation of musicians at Showa University of Music and at the music school he runs. Official Website
