[Comment]
Akihito Obama, Kizan Kawamura and Reison Kuroda are part of the Japanese ensemble The Shakuhachi 5.They play Japanese contemporary and sacred music on shakuhachi bamboo flutes. Each is a leading exponent of a different traditional, generations-long, lineage. Together they are dedicated to new music and the search for contemporary musical expression.
A programme featuring Japanese composers of the 20th and 21st centuries and
the musical tradition of komuso monks based on Zen Buddhism will be performed at Prague's New Town Hall.
The concert will be accompanied by the Czech duo Annabelle Plum & Žaneta Vítová. Their musical expression combines free-jazz spontaneity with poetic intimacy and minimalism. Their work thus revives and updates the Zen aesthetics of experiencing the present moment. The Czech shakuhachi master Marek Kimei Matvija will perform with them as a guest. The concert is organized by NEIRO Association for Expanding Arts (organizer of the International Shakuhachi Festival Prague) in cooperation with the Arts Council Tokyo and the New Town Hall, with the support of the Ministry of Culture Czech Republic, the State Cultural Fund of the Czech Republic and the City of Prague.
