An Unforgettable Koto and Shamisen Experience
It was a beautiful and memorable evening that made us feel connected to a very special part of Japanese culture. We left feeling grateful, inspired, and very fortunate to have been there. Highly recommended.

There is also a question and answer session after the concert, so I would recommend coming with questions in mind. Do remember that not all western musical terms translate well into Japanese, so keep that in mind when you are brainstorming questions.
