Writing music is a difficult task that requires ample time and peace of mind to concentrate one’s efforts into a timeless product. There is also work to be done after the piece has been composed – to learn how to play the piece, at first individually and then together as a duo.

With their busy schedules of concerts, studies, and teaching, Eric and Madoka are enthusiastic but lack financial aid to allocate time for this project. Your support for a total of 1,250 euros will cover the costs of:

- music notation software (150)

- a sound engineer to record Suite no. 3 (300)

- a videographer to create a film of Suite no. 3 (300)

- the remuneration of Madoka Fukami (500)

In addition, Suite no. 3 will have its premiere at Salle Cortot, but hopefully it will be played many times afterwards by Eric, Madoka, and possibly other musicians, as part of the repertoire for cello and piano. In this way your gift will not be for a one-time occasion, but for concerts and musicians of the future as well.
