of Sound and Song

piano concert series (since 2022)
Tomoko Mukaiyama 

of Sound and Song is an intimate piano concert series in collaboration with contemporary art gallery The Merchant House, in a historic canal house in Amsterdam.

It is a place where the history of performance art is both recognized and celebrated. The concerts function as a salon—a space for exchanging knowledge about performance art and fostering meaningful discourse.
For Tomoko, it is both a home and a stage to reinvent herself as a performance artist, in dialogue with The Merchant House and its audience.
