Audiences enjoyed a long standing collaboration since 1977, artists and multi instrumentalists Lin Esser and Bruce Odland shared an impressive collection of creative experiences. At present they continue to work together on numerous projects; in film, theater, recording, and here again in live musical performance. Bruce and Lin unveiled their latest endeavor as a series of piano and cello recitals the duo called Not a Sonata. Created as real-time spontaneous compositions the Not a Sonata draws upon Bruce and Lin’s own individual wealth of creative ideas as well as an enduring musical fellowship.

This event marked the duo's third concert at KinoSaito.
