Challenge of Shakuhachi Classic with
Yoshio Kurahashi (Master Shakuhachi Player : classic
) Shigeo Tachibana (Master Shakuhachi Player : contemporary)
It is impossible to talk on famous contemporary pieces
such as chikurai gosho, eclipse, foodoh, november step etc. without
enormous influence from Koten Honkyoku (classical, original way
of playing Shakuhachi).
This is a rare opportunity of listning the renewed challenge
of Shakuhachi classics to the domain of arts. Yoshio Kurahashi,
renowned master Shakuhachi Player who succeeds Jin-Nyodo Honkyoku tradition
will present his new piece polished up with the classical techniques. Real
Honkyoku pieces of Oushu tradition will be presented in completed
new enviromental context. In addition, Hideo Sekino and Shigeo Tachibana
will present a series of compositions intermingling with improvisations
based on Honkyoku mode. The compositions include a rare piece of 2.7 duet.
This presentation becomes possible because of the occational visit of the
master shakuhachi players to the Bay Area from Japan.
