Afternoon - Spring Concert with the Koto and Japanese Instruments at UMD - College Park, MD
UMD Japanese Koto Ensemble and Washington Toho Koto Society: Springtime in Japan
2:00pm - 4:00pm
Enjoy the sounds of quiet beauty and rustic simplicity of the 13-string, six-foot-long koto, accompanied on some occasions by the shakuhachi (end-blown bamboo flute) and shamisen (three-string, banjo-like instrument). In the first part of the concert, it is as if you are admiring the cherry blossoms on a calm spring day. In the second part, there are musical representations of the flute and drum in a Japanese festival celebrating spring. Learn more about the Washington Toho Koto Society.
Afternoon - Family Friendly Interactive Concert with the Marine Band at NVCC - Alexandria, VA
Young People’s Concert 2013: Sound Off!
2:00pm - 4:00pm
"Join the Marine Band for a concert that considers a world without any music at all (gulp!) and then re-builds sound from the ground up, exploring piece-by-piece the most important ingredients of the musical mixture, including melody, harmony, rhythm, and form. Family participation is essential for this special performance as the Marine Band provides the live soundtrack for improvised skits and spontaneous artwork created by members of the audience during the show."Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall
