Hello Everyone,
As many of you know, Australian-based shakuhachi master Riley Lee will pay
a rare visit to Berkeley and San Francisco from Thursday 8/19 through
Saturday 8/21. Here is an update of his schedule.
SCHEDULED EVENTS:
Event: Combination Master Class / Breathing Workshop / Discussion
Time: Thursday Evening (8/19), 7pm-10pm
Location: 1016 Spruce Street, Berkeley (Nik Warren's home)
Cost: $10-15 sliding scale
As planned, Thursday's event will start with a master class focusing on the
finer points of the honkyoku piece 'Tamuke'. Riley will then introduce some
of his famous breathing exercises. After we have all been warmed up by
this, he will teach a group class on one of three possible pieces:
Shingetsu, Ajikan, or Azuma Jishi (We must come to a consensus about which
one by then!). Afterward, we hope to have time for an informal discussion
and chance for Riley to get to know us a little.
Event: Solo Concert
Time: Friday Evening (8/20) at 8pm
Location: Clarion Music Center, 816 Sacramento Street in San Francisco
