Atsuya Okuda, Master of the Hocchiku comes to Vancouver, British
Columbia

* November 7, 3:00 PM at the Christ Church (690 Burrard Street),
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Atsuya Okuda Master of the
Hocchiku will give a concert and workshop in Vancouver in the newly
renovated Christ Church Cathedral in downtown Vancouver. Atsuya Okuda
is the the most well-known teacher of the purely jinashi-nobekan
shakuhachi in Japan. This will be his first performance on the
westcoast of Canada and North America. He is probably the finest player
of his type since the death in 1992 of the Zen monk Watazumi-doso
(acclaimed by Steve Lacy as his favourite improviser in Wire 225).
Okuda's sound may be quiet, but his playing has terrific subtlety and a
patience of almost geological dimensions - if a rock in a Zen garden
could play music, this is what! it would sound like. His delicate
phrasing on the ancient piece "Shin-kyorei", tinged with multiphonic
chords, is a joy to hear. Tickets at the door: $20.00.

For those wishing to join in the workshop, please contact Alcvin Ramos
at 604-883-2023 or ramos@dccnet.com.

Note: Mr. Okuda will also be performing in Victoria, BC, Canada on Nov.
5, and at Mills College, 5000 MacArthur Blvd. Oakland, CA 94613 on Nov.
11. Please contact Kiku Day at kikuescargot@hotmail.com for more
details.
