KAMMERRAKU SNOW Comes to Tenri Cultural Institute

A 2016 and 2013 CMA/ASCAP Adventurous Programming Award Winner, KYO-SHIN-AN ARTS is a contemporary music organization dedicated to the integration of the Japanese instruments koto, shakuhachi and shamisen into Western classical composition. Kyo-Shin-An Arts' award-winning concert series at the Tenri Cultural Institute in Manhattan features a blend of KSA commissions with World, American and NY premieres, traditional and contemporary music for Japanese instruments and Western repertoire.

This program features three commissioned sextets for string quartet, koto and shakuhachi. Between the Leaves, a world premiere by Tokyo-based composer Yoko Sato and the reprise of both Somei Satoh's ethereal Kyoshin and James Nyoraku Schlefer's Haru no Umi Redux an arrangement of Michiyo Miyagi's famous work for shakuhachi and koto, this version with interwoven string music that embodies the title "The Sea in Spring."

PLUS two world premiere string quartets commissioned by the Cassatt Quartet - Tina Davidson's Render and Sebastian Currier's Lullaby No. 3, Resolving.

Three sextets for shakuhachi, koto and string quartet. Two string quartets. Three world premieres. Five commissions past and present. One glorious concert.
