Event Details
Australia’s acclaimed Grand Master of the Japanese bamboo flute opens this new season at the Famous Spiegeltent. Playing the shakuhachi is not just a musical undertaking – it’s a lifetime of meditation and storytelling and challenges and imagination. With long-time musical partner Marshall McGuire, performing music from ancient times and music specially composed for them both, Riley tells us his story, in music of the utmost beauty and serenity.
Featured non-Australian music: Benjamin Britten - Corpus Christi Carol; Schubert - The Hurdy-Gurdy Man; Miyagi Michio - Spring Sea; Katsutoshi Nagasawa - Mayudama
