Are traditional shakuhachi pieces innovative? Performance by Japanese professional shakuhachi players
Friday, May 10, 2019 Toyosu Civic Center Hall
Organizer & Performance :Japan Shakuhachi Professional-players Network (JSPN)
￥6,000 -(Consumption tax and shipping are required)
The traditional Shakuhachi standards“Sokaku-Reibo”and“Tsuru no sugomori”share a common theme of the parent-child bond between cranes, tracing the rearing of the young to the leaving of the nest.Compositions with these same names exist in every Shakuhachi school and faction, and even now are often played and performed. The fact that so many different songs with the same names are in existence implies that musicians have over time repeatedly created new and innovative arrangements for them while prizing the distinctive techniques and performance methods they require. Shakuhachi virtuosos of today gathered under one roof for a joint performance of these and other well-known pieces. As well as music handed down within each school/faction, the event also featured performance of unique interpretations based on research
of various documents and music sources. The audience was also treated to new works by contemporary Shakuhachi composers, as well as new works and large-scale performances by members of the Network.
