The Juilliard School devotes its annual winter new-music festival to Japanese music written after 1945. Composer names familiar to new-music fans—such as Takemitsu, Toshio Hosokawa and Dai Fujikura—figure into many of the sets. Though one of the main conceptual draws of this free festival is the chance to discover lesser-known names. See
