For those interested, there will be a Pre-concert gallery tour, Arts of Japan at 6:45pm
Composer Sukeyasu Shiba, a long-time member of Japan’s Imperial Household Agency gagaku orchestra, leads his eleven-member Reigakusha ensemble of musicians and dancers in a performance of original music and choreography. Shiba’s works revitalize an ancient combination of ritual dance accompanied by sho (mouth-organ), biwa (lute), ryuteki (flute), hichiriki (double-reed), percussion, and other instruments rarely heard in the West. This performance is part of the thirty-fifth anniversary celebrations of Music From Japan, based in New York City, and it marks the organization’s twelfth annual program at the Freer Gallery.
