Pleiades Sessions

Be Creative
Want to Play?
Taking the first steps as an artist, there are many hurdles to overcome beyond courage and ability. “I have an idea, but I don’t have the opportunity or venue to realize it”
inc. will nurture the next generation of musicians through the following support.
We perform one on one mentoring for each artist at various project opportunities, consider the program, the staging and the venue together and decide on an artistic direction of the project. We want to create a young professional who can lead creative ideas by actively incorporating cross genre collaborations while giving inspiration including musicians, players of other instruments and the participations of overseas guest artists.
