Japanske toner på tværs af grænser

To bambusfløjter. To kulturer. Én musikalsk rejse.

Line up:
Yasukazu Kano — Shinobue
Kiku Day — Shakuhachi
Special Guests
Keiko Tamaru — dans
Ami Shudo — japansk bambusfløjte
De traditionelle japanske bambusfløjter shinobue og shakuhachi har hver deres historie, særlige klang og musikalske udtryk.
Selvom begge instrumenter stammer fra Japan, har de gennem århundrederne udviklet sig i forskellige musikalske retninger. Ved denne særlige koncert mødes de to fløjters stemmer og bygger bro mellem Japan og Danmark i et musikalsk møde på tværs af landegrænser.
Glæd dig også til særlige gæsteoptrædener med dans og japansk bambusfløjte, når japansk kultur fejres gennem musik og bevægelse.
