Experience Michiaki Ueno live on August 7th

Michiaki Ueno, a Japanese composer and performer, will present a concert at Église Saint-Marcel in Cluny, France on August 7, 2026. Ueno’s work is largely characterized by minimalist and spectral approaches to composition, often utilizing extended techniques for brass instruments – particularly the trombone – and exploring microtonal harmonies.

He is known for both solo performances and collaborative projects incorporating live electronics and other instruments.

Église Saint-Marcel is a historically significant Romanesque church located in Cluny, Saône-et-Loire, France. Originally constructed in the 11th century as part of the vast Cluny Abbey complex—once the largest church in Christendom—it represents a crucial stage in the development of Burgundian Romanesque architecture. While much of the original abbey was destroyed during the French Revolution, Saint-Marcel remains a well-preserved example of its architectural style, featuring notable sculptural details and a robust stone structure. The church has undergone restorations over time but retains significant elements of its medieval origins.
