Four Seasons in New York – Gems of Japanese Music – vol. 31

The Japanese music concert series by Yoko Reikano Kimura, a Yamada-style koto musician, will be restarting at “Setsugekka” in East Village. Launched in the fall of 2015, the series has offered audiences a chance to experience the sounds of the koto and shamisen throughout the seasons. To date, over 60 pieces have been presented, ranging from classical to contemporary works.

The upcoming 31st spring concert will feature “Akashi,” from the classical Kumiuta repertoire—considered the origin of koto music—as well as “Miyako no Haru,” known for its brilliant tegoto(virtuosic instrumental passages). Attendees will also enjoy matcha prepared by tea ceremony master Souheki Mori.
