Enjoy the pure, sweet, and beautiful sound of the Japanese Koto, as played by Mitsuki Dazai. Professor Dazai, originally from Tokyo, has been playing and teaching the koto for over 30 years. This master koto player will present a variety of koto music and will talk briefly about this unique instrument between pieces. The audience will enjoy an exotic, oriental feeling from the traditional pieces, and also feel dramatic and dynamic impressions through the contemporary works.
