The American ensemble Lyracle brings us the story of four Japanese boys of noble birth who set sail from Nagasaki to Lisbon. They were students at the Jesuit school in Kyūshū and were sent on a tour of Italy and Iberia as ambassadors of three Japanese daimyō who had converted to Christianity. Music was a key component in their mission, and the American Ensemble Lyracle has assembled a selection of music for voice and viols that they would have brought back to the Jesuit mission in Japan. Follow this fascinating story as they share with us that music and narrative for their first performances in Hawai‘i.
