AUGUST: SHARON (CELLO) AND SLAVA GRIGORYAN (CLASSICAL GUITAR)
Australia's favourite classical music couple, Slava and Sharon Grigoryan, bring their magic to Sandgate with a concert of Vivaldi, Granados, Cawrse, and a taste of their album ' Our Place.
Sharon and Slava Grigoryan
Saturday, 7 August, 7.30pm
Sandgate Town Hall
SEPTEMBER: RILEY LEE (SHAKUHACHI) AND TAKAKO NISHIBORI (KOTO)
Shakuhachi master Riley Lee said, After over a year of virtually no live performances, I am looking forward, more than I can express, to performing in this Music By The Sea event.
The intimate space and the overall environment is a perfect place to share our music-making again, and in the same room with real people. Hurrah!
Sharing his deep wisdom of the craft, Riley explained that he and koto player Takako Nishibori would perform contemporary compositions and well-known traditional pieces, both duets and solos, from the 18th century and earlier.
These works have no western musical influences, Riley said. Yet, they are well-known in part because they still appeal to 21st century audiences and so continue to be performed.
An example of this is a solo that I will be playing, belonging to the shakuhachi honkyoku repertoire. Honkyoku refers to a group of about 200 pieces and variations created, transmitted and performed largely within the context of Japanese Zen Buddhism.
They are of course music, but they also function as Suizen (literally 'blowing zen'), a type of sonic meditation that also focuses on that universal door into transcendental spirituality ' the breath.
A famous saying that refers to playing (and listening to) honkyoku is Ichi On JÅ Butsu 一音æˆä». The literal translation only hints at its meaning: one sound becoming Buddha.
Riley's invitation said, in short, that those who attend this concert will be able to appreciate music spanning centuries. And that exemplifies both the traditional and the contemporary, all within a most enjoyable program.
