Hi,
Here's info about a sankyoku workshop at Columbia University and a concert at
Tenri Cultural Institute. The workshop will be geared to the middle level
student; however all levels of expertise will benefit from the exchange of
views- a meeting of eastern and western minds and mujscial understanding.
We will play Aki no Koto no Ha and Yaegoromo at the concert.

Exquisite Japanese chamber music in concert
On Friday, October 15th at 7 pm in the lovely Japanese gallery at Tenri
Cultural Institute, 575 Broadway 4th floor (at Prince St. in Manhattan), an
evening program of six different examples of traditional Japanese chamber
music will be performed as part of an unusual Japanese and American cultural
exchange.
The concert will feature the Japanese artist Wakako Imai, who will sing
utai, a rarely performed genre from the noh theater. She will be joined by
Sherrie Hoshun Kato, an American currently living in Japan and a former
member of the New York Sankyoku Kai. The two women,playing sangen
(shamisen), and koto, will perform with Cynthia Nyoen Chaffee, a New York
musician and teacher, who will play the shakuhachi. Aki no Koto no Ha and
Yaegoromo are among the pieces to be performed. This is indeed a notable
event with all principal players of traditional Japanese instru-ments.
In Japan, support for this concert is given by “Campanula” (Kikyoo) of
Ichinomiya, an organization for the fostering of traditional Japanese music,
and by the Foundation for the Arts, Nagoya/ Boston Museum of fine Arts).
