This was the debut performance of 'Old & New' from OKK's 14th Annual Concert at Portland State University's Lincoln Hall on October 26th, 2025. This piece was composed by Josh Faber-Hammond in 2023 during his music residencies in Japan at 3331 Arts Chiyoda and PARADISE AIR.

The theme of this piece, 'Old & New', is meant to capture the feeling of walking through the streets of Tokyo and finding beautiful and serene temples and shines, reminiscent of ancient Japan, juxtaposed with modern technology and architecture.
