Argerich's Meeting Point
and now twenty-seven years since her first encounter with Beppu City, Oita.
The first Music Festival in the world bearing her name surprised the world as the "Beppu Miracle".
In the spring of 2015, another "miracle" happened.
The world's only "Shiiki presents Argerich's Haus" was launched.
To Martha Argerich, who gives us such splendid times with music, the Haus is presented by Mr. Masakazu Shiiki, Honorary Director of Argerich Arts Foundation, as a token of respect and dearness to her.With our wish for Argerich to continue sharing music with her own piano named Martita, this salon with extraordinary acoustics will bring about further excellent performances that will go down in history.
Together with Argerich, classical music palace "Shiiki presents Argerich's Haus" will lead the way to the future, entrusting our hopes and dreams in music.

Vol.21 Neue Bahnen pursued by Schumann
Neue Bahnen (New Paths)
Schumann spared no effort to support fellow and younger musicians during his music life.
We can say he pursued Neue Bahnen (new paths) of music with a deep insight into the past, present and future.
In the Chamber Music Series 2021-22 at Argerich’s Haus, musicians will perform pieces by Schumann and his contemporary composers Chopin and Brahms.
The title of the article written by Schumann to introduce Brahms was “Neue Bahnen.”
At present, we are exploring a new path (Neue Bahn) as people around the world suffer from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hoping particularly that concerts will come back to our daily life under a safe environment, we would like to think of the relationship between people and music and between society and music.
I am sure we will find a new path together with you.
Praying that this will bring us the light of hope.
