Fremont Abbey Art Center フリーモントアビーアートセンター

October 9, 2024 by KOYAMASHOHEI

毎夜のようにここで生まれ続ける光景を思い、ホールは静かに今日も日差しに包まれ佇む。

僕はただ、その日々の刹那に幾度となく流れ着き、人知れずピアノを弾いたり歌ったりし、この美しい空間へと泳いでいく音を楽しむたった一人。

日が暮れる頃、広いホールに椅子を並べ始める。ステージを作る。スタンドを立て、マイクの音を確かめる。ピアノの響きを確かめる。やがて人々が集い始め、壁の明かりに火を灯す。音楽が始まる。絵が描かれていく。子供たちが踊り、大人が浸る。芸術だ。芸術だ。フリーモントアビーアートセンター。
