Event Details
Japanese master Kaoru Kakizakai will perform a selection of traditional and contemporary works for shakuhachi (traditional Japanese bamboo flute). An internationally acclaimed performer in the tradition of honkyoku (solo shakuhachi pieces that are historically rooted in Zen Buddhism), Kakizakai also regularly performs as a soloist for November Steps (1967), the quintessential work of critically acclaimed Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu (1930-1996).
The program will feature several honkyoku pieces that showcase the instrument performing its most intimate solo repertoire, as well as several pieces for small ensemble. The concert also features a composition by Australian composer Lachlan Skipworth, Light Rain (2009) for shakuhachi and string quartet (Hannah Spracklan-Holl, Arun Patterson, Dovi Hanner, and Ellie Walker).
Featured non-Australian music: Takemitsu et al.
