OTO GA TATSU featuring Yuta Sumiyoshi from KODO on March 6!
Fumi Tanakadate
OTOGATATSU part 2 featuring Yuta Sumiyoshi from Kodo this Saturday, March 6 at 6 PM (EST). Ticket holders can view this online concert and all the others of the series at your leisure even if you can't join at this specific time.
Yuta and I will be presenting three pieces that we co-composed just for this concert called 三猿、秒読み、and １７ as well as a solo piece of mine called 花鳥風月。We will be discussing these compositions and answering questions for those able to join us.
KODO has always meant so much to me, inspiring me when I was a fan, guiding me as an apprentice, challenging me as a performing member and encouraging me when I set out on my own. They continue to be miles ahead of the rest and I’m grateful they lent me one of their best!
This is an excerpt of our tune “17”.
Ps- I’m still reeling from the recent loss of the great musicians Milford Graves, Chick Corea and today Ralph Peterson... I will continue to try to honor the spirit of humility, innovation, discipline and empathy these giants were known for.
Milford Graves came out to perform with Kodo when I was an apprentice, just about 20 years ago.
