What a dream stage!✨Sharing the spotlight with legendary Michala Petri (recorder), elegant Yumi Yamagata (flute), Gagaku superstar Hideki Togi, Noh-flute master Yukihiro Issō, and the incredible shakuhachi player Dōzan Fujiwara was pure magic!

From the ancient shō and hichiriki to the noh flute, shakuhachi, Michala’s breathtaking recorders, and the beautifully perfected modern flute, this concert was a once-in-a-lifetime journey through time and sound.

Who would have thought these instruments, spanning centuries and cultures, could blend so harmoniously? Grateful beyond words for this incredible experience!
