Simultaneous patterns in the brain create a complex scene of wild oscillations in our bodies and minds. Given research in neuroscience\, the hope is that oscillating rhythms can provide a new sense of focus and clarity\, similar to a dream state. Anecdotal evidence suggests that for some listeners it may reveal new ways of hearing ourselves and the world providing both comfort\, hope\, and healing. \nPerformance: Caroline Davis will perform a solo saxophone set inspired by research on oscillations in the brain. Watch her last video in the series for a sneak peak: \n \nABOUT CAROLINE DAVIS \nMobile since her birth in Singapore\, composer and saxophonist Caroline Davis’s music covers a wide range of styles\, owed to her shifting environment as a child.

In her work\, painting functions as a place of reflection\, as a medium to snatch the fleeting time in an ongoing journey of self discovery and unfolding. Mina is an intuit who works through the constant process of being an observer in the moment; cultivating the flow of energies that need to be captured\, in an intimate engagement with color\, form\, and space. The essence of her exploration is to depict the world between visual and spiritual senses. Her goal in her practices is to create escapes that help to contemplate and evoke the purity of lightheartedness and rawness; which would not only be a form of putting healing energy out through a piece but also to inspire and elevate anyone who experiences her work. minaomidi.com \nPAOLA GARCÍA teaches Sufi dance at Anahid Sofian Studio and performs with the CRS Sufi dance community and elsewhere.

The first concert will take place on Saturday\, September 24 at 7:30 pm and will feature Yoko Reikano Kimura (koto/shamisen) with Keiko Tokunaga (violin) and Hikaru Tamaki (cello) performing compositions by Japanese and western composers: \n\n\nDaron Hagen: “Cavatina\,” the second movement of “Cantabile”\nElizabeth Brown: “The Secret Life of Birds”\nKen Ueno: “Tsuki no Uta” (Song of the Moon)\nMichael Ippolito: “Strange Loops: IV. The Stonecutter”\nSeihō Kineya: “Tsuki no En” from the Noh play Mii-dera Temple\nThomas Osborne: Tumbling From the Ninth Height of Heaven\n\n\nFounded by Grammy-winner Keiko Tokunaga\, INTERWOVEN is a chamber ensemble whose mission is to bring together the sounds from different places and time. The ensemble name derives from the idea that music making is like creating a tapestry\, woven together with threads that represent and celebrate diverse origins\, traditions and materials. \nAmi means “to knit” in Japanese and “friend” in many Romance languages. By bringing together musicians from different cultural backgrounds to play western and non-western music\, traditional and contemporary\, side by side\, we likewise hope to introduce patrons of different backgrounds to the wonders and commonalities to be found in unfamiliar traditions\, to inspire new friendships\, and to strengthen our cross-cultural connections. \nTickets are $30 and are available online through eventbrite.com and at the door for cash only\, if not sold out. Seating is limited and includes floor seating on blankets. All patrons must show proof of vaccination at the door in order to be admitted\, no exceptions. In addition\, masks must be worn throughout. \nDeep listening forms the foundation of the practice and programming of CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing). Free from distractions such as food and drink service\, we share these opportunities to listen deeply with you\, that we may let go of what we know or think\, and simply experience. \nThe second concert in the series will take place on October 8 and will feature the Korean wind player gamin with two violins and viola performing the music of Ki Young Kim\, Theodore Wiprud\, William Cooper\, and gamin. The third concert will occur on October 29 and will feature Andy Lin (erhu/viola)\, performing Chen Yi’s Fiddle Suite for String Quartet and other compositions. \nABOUT THE PROGRAM \nDaron Hagen‘s “Catavina” is the second movement of “Cantabile\,” a portrait of the historical figure\, Taira no Tokuko’s years as a recluse and Buddhist nun. “Cantabile” is one of a long song cycle\, “Heike Quinto” which was composed by Daron Hagen and commissioned by Duo YUMENO in 2015 – 2022. The recording of Heike Quinto will be released from Naxos in 2022-23. \nElizabeth Brown‘s “The Secret Life of Birds” (1992) was commissioned by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs for Shirley Yamamoto\, flute\, and Yoko Awaya\, koto\, and is inspired by Brown’s love of the different ways birds use their voices: the ‘song’\, the ‘call’\, the ‘note.’ The koto part uses a traditional tuning\, though offset by a half step for the upper half of the strings. \nKen Ueno‘s “Tsuki no Uta” was composed for koto and voice and premiered in 2010. \nMichael Ippolito‘s “Strange Loops” (2018)\, for violin and cello\, takes its title from the concept developed by Douglas Hofstadter in his books Gödel\, Escher\, Bach and I Am a Strange Loop. Strange loops arise when one moves through a system in one direction\, yet somehow ends up back at the beginning. \nSeihō Kineya‘s “Tsuki no En” (1959) is a contemporary Hôgaku\, which is a composition written in the post-war era after the style and/or instrumentation of Japanese traditional music but influenced by western music\, composed for the Noh play Mii-dera Temple. \nThomas Osborne‘s Tumbling From the Ninth Height of Heaven (2007) takes its title from a poem by Li Bai (c. 700-762)\, a Chinese poet from the Tang dynasty. The poem\, “Viewing the Waterfall at Mount Lu\,” describes an enormous waterfall at Mount Lu in Jiangsi province. Osborne’s composition also draws inspiration from Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai woodcut depicting Li Bai at the edge of a cliff gazing upon the immense falls while his two young attendants try to keep the inebriated poet from tumbling over the edge. \nTICKET LINK:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/interwoven-ami-1-tickets-403776054047\n \nCOVID POLICY: \nProof of full vaccination is required to enter\, no exceptions.

The first concert will take place on Saturday September 24 at 7:30 pm and will feature Yoko Reikano Kimura (koto/shamisen) with Keiko Tokunaga (violin) and Hikaru Tamaki (cello) performing compositions by Japanese and western composers: \n\n\nDaron Hagen: “Cavatina” the second movement of “Cantabile”\nElizabeth Brown: “The Secret Life of Birds”\nKen Ueno: “Tsuki no Uta” (Song of the Moon)\nMichael Ippolito: “Strange Loops: IV. The Stonecutter”\nSeihō Kineya: “Tsuki no En” from the Noh play Mii-dera Temple\nThomas Osborne: Tumbling From the Ninth Height of Heaven\n\n\nFounded by Grammy-winner Keiko Tokunaga INTERWOVEN is a chamber ensemble whose mission is to bring together the sounds from different places and time. The ensemble name derives from the idea that music making is like creating a tapestry woven together with threads that represent and celebrate diverse origins traditions and materials. \nAmi means “to knit” in Japanese and “friend” in many Romance languages. By bringing together musicians from different cultural backgrounds to play western and non-western music traditional and contemporary side by side we likewise hope to introduce patrons of different backgrounds to the wonders and commonalities to be found in unfamiliar traditions to inspire new friendships and to strengthen our cross-cultural connections. \nTickets are $30 and are available online through eventbrite.com and at the door for cash only if not sold out. Seating is limited and includes floor seating on blankets. All patrons must show proof of vaccination at the door in order to be admitted no exceptions. In addition masks must be worn throughout. \nDeep listening forms the foundation of the practice and programming of CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing). Free from distractions such as food and drink service we share these opportunities to listen deeply with you that we may let go of what we know or think and simply experience. \nThe second concert in the series will take place on October 8 and will feature the Korean wind player gamin with two violins and viola performing the music of Ki Young Kim Theodore Wiprud William Cooper and gamin. The third concert will occur on October 29 and will feature Andy Lin (erhu/viola) performing Chen Yi’s Fiddle Suite for String Quartet and other compositions. \nABOUT THE PROGRAM \nDaron Hagen‘s “Catavina” is the second movement of “Cantabile” a portrait of the historical figure Taira no Tokuko’s years as a recluse and Buddhist nun. “Cantabile” is one of a long song cycle “Heike Quinto” which was composed by Daron Hagen and commissioned by Duo YUMENO in 2015 – 2022. The recording of Heike Quinto will be released from Naxos in 2022-23. \nElizabeth Brown‘s “The Secret Life of Birds” (1992) was commissioned by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs for Shirley Yamamoto flute and Yoko Awaya koto and is inspired by Brown’s love of the different ways birds use their voices: the ‘song’ the ‘call’ the ‘note.’ The koto part uses a traditional tuning though offset by a half step for the upper half of the strings. \nKen Ueno‘s “Tsuki no Uta” was composed for koto and voice and premiered in 2010. \nMichael Ippolito‘s “Strange Loops” (2018) for violin and cello takes its title from the concept developed by Douglas Hofstadter in his books Gödel Escher Bach and I Am a Strange Loop. Strange loops arise when one moves through a system in one direction yet somehow ends up back at the beginning. \nSeihō Kineya‘s “Tsuki no En” (1959) is a contemporary Hôgaku which is a composition written in the post-war era after the style and/or instrumentation of Japanese traditional music but influenced by western music composed for the Noh play Mii-dera Temple. \nThomas Osborne‘s Tumbling From the Ninth Height of Heaven (2007) takes its title from a poem by Li Bai (c. 700-762) a Chinese poet from the Tang dynasty. The poem “Viewing the Waterfall at Mount Lu” describes an enormous waterfall at Mount Lu in Jiangsi province. Osborne’s composition also draws inspiration from Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai woodcut depicting Li Bai at the edge of a cliff gazing upon the immense falls while his two young attendants try to keep the inebriated poet from tumbling over the edge. \nTICKET LINK:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/interwoven-ami-1-tickets-403776054047\n \nCOVID POLICY: \nProof of full vaccination is required to enter no exceptions.

Elsa Nilsson\, Santiago Leibson\, Marty Kenney and Rodrigo Recabarren asked themselves; what is the line that makes sound music? If beauty is in the eye of the beholder\, then isn’t music in the ear of the listener? As they listened to words around them they became enchanted with the subtleties in the sounds of voices. It began with Rodrigo playing rhythms along with speeches where he wanted to accentuate the meanings of what was being said. He sent Elsa Maya Angelou’s “On the Pulse Of Morning” full of rocks\, rivers and trees. Elsa fell in love with the deep musicality present in every sound. She listened and heard echoes of Ornette Coleman in how Maya Angelou ended her phrases. She heard thematic development and musical build in the pitch materials. \nTogether this band took the time to hear the musical communication in the sounds of Maya Angelou’s words. They play with her voice\, enhancing the music that is already there and bringing to light the full depth of her sonic brilliance along with her poetic brilliance. \nJohn Cage heard music in every sound. Groove in a tin can. Humor and art co-existing. This band takes a similar approach to communication. Intentionality does not require a plan\, directionality does not imply rigidity. With the wide open space of the music ahead they stand together with their toes over the edge and jump. \nTickets are $10 for students/seniors and $20 general admission and are available through eventbrite.com and at the door for cash only\, if not sold out. All patrons must show proof of vaccination at the door in order to be admitted\, no exceptions. In addition\, masks must be worn throughout. \nPARADISE LABORATORY is a playground for sonic and visual experimentation. Conceived of during the pandemic by the renowned Korean traditional multi-instrumentalist\, curator\, and scholar gamin\, Paradise Laboratory provides musical artists with opportunities to rehearse\, record\, film\, and perform with other musical\, visual\, and dance artists in an experimental\, process-oriented\, and artist-centered fashion. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nFlute Player\, Composer and Educator Elsa Nilsson was born and raised in Gothenburg\, Sweden and currently resides in Brooklyn\, New York. She can often be found playing at The 55 Bar\, Bar Bayeux and other New York Jazz venues. Nilsson approaches music with an attitude of inclusiveness. She believes there is a space to be found in music that gives us the freedom to be exactly who we are. This leads her to make some unconventional choices as an improviser and composer where the lines between styles become blurred and rules get bent in order to serve the ultimate goal of sincere communication. Nilsson draws inspiration from every aspect of life and music that moves her\, combining them through the lens of Jazz to create a deeply personal expression that she hopes is universally relatable. Nilsson is on Faculty at The New School College for Performing Arts. \nhttps://www.elsanilssonmusic.com/ \nSantiago Leibson is a Brooklyn based\, Argentinian born jazz pianist and composer.

She can often be found playing at The 55 Bar Bar Bayeux and other New York Jazz venues. Nilsson approaches music with an attitude of inclusiveness. She believes there is a space to be found in music that gives us the freedom to be exactly who we are. This leads her to make some unconventional choices as an improviser and composer where the lines between styles become blurred and rules get bent in order to serve the ultimate goal of sincere communication. Nilsson draws inspiration from every aspect of life and music that moves her combining them through the lens of Jazz to create a deeply personal expression that she hopes is universally relatable. Nilsson is on Faculty at The New School College for Performing Arts. \nhttps://www.elsanilssonmusic.com/ \nSantiago Leibson is a Brooklyn based Argentinian born jazz pianist and composer.

This tribute is intended to include all women who are and have been victims of sexual violence and exploitation. These songs of our strong and resilient Mothers and Grandmothers must be “unforgotten” to inspire the following generations of women and men. \nAt its heart\, the concert transforms archived songs sung by survivors into tales of resilience\, courage\, and strength in the face of suffering and injustice. In poignant irony\, gamin’s composition results in a beautiful yet heart-breaking paean not only for victims in the past but also for all women who are deeply suffering from injustice in the world. \nThis multi-media work envisioned a suite of compositions all connected by improvised melodies\, like a stream that flows from one thought to the next. The improvisation and soundtrack would be created by Korean woodwinds by gamin and it will be combined with visual art. \nCRS previously presented a version of this work online last summer as part of the Crossing Boundaries Concert Series in lieu of an in-person concert and exhibition that was originally planned for 2020 but postponed due to the pandemic. \n– Artists\nProduced & Performed by gamin\nVisual art by Chang-Jin Lee\nShakuhachi by Adam Robinson\nCello by Ana Kim\nPoem by Tanya Ko Hong\nSound mix by John Chang \nDate : July 29\, 2022\nTime : 7 PM\nLocation: Sanctuary NYC (1519 Decatur Street\, #104\, Ridgewood\, NY 11385)\nDirections: L train to Halsey St\, then walk 3 blocks \nhttps://unforgottensong.eventbrite.com \n* Free Admission\n* There will be an Artist talk after the performance and free drinks will be provided\n– Special Thanks to Chinatown Partnership LDC\n– [Unforgotten Song] is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. \n– As part of gamin’s projects\, it has been continuously supported by Brandeis University\, CRS(Center for Remembering and Sharing)\, Jerome Hill Foundation\, and New Music USA.

The program will include a presentation about this research into the relationship between creative activity and brain activity and further demonstration and explanation of the device\, the first such demonstration of this technology in the United States. A similar program\, “Bach-Brain” was premiered by Kang last month at Lotte Concert Hall in Seoul\, South Korea. \nLOOKING–MIND is a metaphor of Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. Through the Goldberg Variations and brain imaging scan you can enter a new world of another universe but it is born in your brain. \nThe musical program includes: \n\nJ.S.

The measured brain activity is graphically presented in real time via video projection.  \nIn “Mind Improvisation\,”  the data of this device is transformed into synthesized sound and projected visuals. Kang started with the question of “how the brain moves when humans perform artistic actions.” First\, she scans her own brain\, transmits the data in real time\, and uses it as a value for sound formation. This is again used as a value for the image transformation\, and the sound and visual image being transformed by the performer’s brain action causes an instantly improvised transformation of the performer again. In other words\, a situation develops where the input and output of sound\, image\, and the performer’s brain activity and performance continuously transform each other. \nTickets are $20 and are available online through eventbrite.com and at the door for cash only\, if not sold out. All patrons must show proof of vaccination at the door in order to be admitted\, no exceptions. In addition\, masks must be worn throughout. \nDuring Kang’s three-week residency in New York City\, she will also lead workshop demonstrations of the device. \nPARADISE LABORATORY is a playground for sonic and visual experimentation.

This concert is dedicated to those beautiful spirits who became stars. \nCurated by multi-Instrumentalist gamin\, this fifth season of Crossing Boundaries consists of three concerts exploring the theme of WOMEN IN MUSIC performed by female and female-identifying musicians. Following the performance there will be a conversation with the audience about the concert and the theme of gender in the music industry. \nTickets are $20 – $30 and are available online through eventbrite.com and at the door for cash only\, if not sold out.

One listen to Jacqueline Kerrod’s solo harp debut will serve as an epiphany for those cynics. In fact\, I found myself awestruck by Kerrod’s seemingly limitless expressive range.”— Yoshi Maclear Wall The Whole Note \n“Jo’s work operates at the intersection of abstraction and human need\, creating intimate spaces and experiences of peace and solace that acknowledge emotional or spiritual connections.” — Sculpture \nCrossing Boundaries Vol. 18:  FREEDOM will be held on July 16 in Marc A. Scorca Hall at the National Opera Center. Crossing Boundaries Vol. 16:  FOCUSING ON HER\, co-presented by Tenri Cultural Institute of NY\, has been re-scheduled for Dec 10\, 2022 at Tenri. \nTHE PROGRAM \nFace of Heaven“The Face of Heaven” is a memorial Installation for the Sewol Ferry disaster in which 304 people\, mostly high school students\, died en route from Incheon to Jeju\, South Korea on April 16\, 2014. \nThe work is an experiental installation composed of 304 lights shining like stars through different size holes; offering a metaphor of longing\, remembrance and comfort for those who died in the Sewol ferry tragedy\, and shedding light on the dark reality of an unsolved issue.“When he shall die\,Take him and cut him out in little stars\,And he will make the face of heaven so fineThat all the world will be in love with nightAnd pay no worship to the garish sun.”– William Shakespeare \nCrossroadsInspired by: “It is a true philosophy to meditate on death.”While working at a Sacatar Foundation residency in Brazil in late 2007 and early 2008\, the artist spent a great deal of time observing nature: The sun rising in the morning and the coming of night everyday….The water coming in and out everyday. The ebb and flow of the tide which is different every day. \n“Leaving with nothing…leaving with just memory…the cycle of nature…the cycle of life and death.”This is a piece to reflect the artist’s observations\, experiences and thoughts. \nWooden grave markers\, reminiscent of primitive crossroad signs\, were placed in an elemental meeting of earth\, sea\, and sky. Installed at sunset on the shore at low tide\, I gathered them up before they washed away. \nABOUT CROSSING BOUNDARIES CONCERT SERIES \nCROSSING BOUNDARIES is a concert series devoted to dissolving boundaries between performers and audiences\, the traditional and contemporary\, classical and experimental\, and the culturally specific and the global.

Her ravenous appetite for collaboration and experimentation as an interpreter\, improvisor\, and composer have helped create a body of work which bridges avant-garde\, contemporary\, classical\, improvised\, and traditional music. Roberts is widely recognized for her “technical and interpretive mastery” (I care if you listen) and for performances which seethe with “excruciating intensity” (The Whole Note).  \nRoberts has appeared as a soloist and chamber musician across four continents\, most notably asa member and co-director of the Wet Ink Ensemble (named “The Best Classical Music Ensemble of 2018” by The New York Times)\, as well as with the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE)\, Mivos Quartet\, Bang on a Can All Stars\, and Ensemble Signal.

Over the past 30 years\, Sook Jin Jo has produced drawings\, collages\, photographs\, sculptural assemblages\, performances\, installations\, public works\, and architectural design works. Originally because canvas was too expensive for her as a young artist\, she started to use plywood and began to explore found wooden materials. Continuing her work with this medium\, she has discovered infinite possibilities for painting\, sculpture\, installation and beyond. She often chose marginalized sites for her outdoor installations and public artworks. Most of them are site-specific and collaborative\, working with professionals and local peoples from diverse communities in many countries\, including Sweden\, India\, Poland\, Switzerland\, Korea\, Bolivia\, Nicaragua\, Brazil and the United States. \nJo’s works can be seen in numerous public collections\, including the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Korea; the Seoul Museum of Art in Korea; Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art\, Ansan\, Korea; the Erie Museum of Art in Pennsylvania; the Huntington Museum of Art in West Virginia; the Housatonic Museum of Art in Connecticut; the Arko Art Center in Seoul\, Korea; the LA Metro Detention Center in Los Angeles; and the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse in Miami. She completed the construction of Art House\, a nondenominational chapel in Tipitapa\, Nicaragua in 2018. \nhttp://www.sookjinjo.com \nABOUT THE PRESENTER \nCRS (CENTER FOR REMEMBERING & SHARING) is a spiritual healing and art center founded in 2004 by the writer/lecturer/spiritual counselor Yasuko Kasaki and artist Christopher Pelham.

Additional voice-over is provided by MILAI SAKAI. \nRumi directed his followers to celebrate rather than mourn his passing because he would be uniting with God\, the “Beloved.” The observance of the anniversary of his death was thereafter referred to in Arabic as urs\, which means “wedding.” \nThe whirling dance meditation of the Sufis is known as Sema or Sama and actually means “divine listening.” It is the mystical approach of practicing “listening” in order to achieve remembrance (zikr) of the divine spark in our heart of hearts. We empty our minds of all thoughts of the individual self as we give ourselves over to prayer and connect with a greater power\, the still center within\, around which we turn. Into this emptiness floods a divine fullness\, which sometimes gives rise to a state known as “mystical intoxication\,” a reflection of knowing and experiencing that you and I and the Divine are One. \nOur practice is fundamentally experiential rather than presentational in nature. Even though we are sharing it with you through this electronic medium\, it is our hope that you can receive our prayer and join with us in setting aside the dualistic world of the ego to experience this Oneness. \nABOUT THE CURATOR/DIRECTOR \nLÄLE SAYOKO lives to embody and transmit the voice of spirit through music and dance.

This program celebrates the intoxicating musical and cultural influences that propagated along the legendary Silk Road and features music from Tang Dynasty China (7c – 10c)\, 13th and 16th century Iran and 13th century Spain. \nDue to the ongoing pandemic\, this concert will be filmed and streamed online\, premiering on Sunday\, November 15\, 2020 at 1 pm with a live Q&A. The concert will be available to watch for seven days. Tickets for this year’s online concerts will be available for $30\, $20\, or $10. \nEURASIA CONSORT brings together three artists recognized as specialists in the ancient musical traditions. Through their research\, teaching\, and performances\, they seek a common understanding of the world’s great music traditions along the ancient Silk Road. https://www.eurasiaconsort.com \nGAMIN is widely considered to be the foremost Korean traditional woodwind player in the Americas today and has performed around the world with luminaries such as Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble. \nKAESHI CHAI is one of the leading figures in the NYC Near East dance scene\, having performed at Central Park’s Summerstage\, Lincoln Center Out of Doors\, BAM\, etc. From 2009-2016 she directed\, co-choreographed\, and toured the theatrical dance show Journey Along the Silk Road throughout the US\, Canada\, Taiwan\, Japan\, Thailand\, Australia and Italy. \ncurator: gamin \nmusicians: Tomoko Sugawara (kugo/harp)\, Rex Benincasa (percussion)\, Adem Birson (oud)\, gamin (piri/flute) \nchoreography/dance: Kaeshi Chai \nThis program brings us from China to Spain at a time when Chang’an was China’s capital. We follow the famous Silk Road\, illustrated with caves showing Buddhist ensembles and orchestras. There are many harps\, lutes\, zithers\, flutes and percussion. Some of the music survived in manuscripts\, and have been transcribed by Chinese\, Japanese\, and Western scholars. Some transcribed ones are on today’s program. The paintings depict a large number of percussion instruments\, far more than what the manuscripts mention. \nMany kinds of people moved on the Silk Road. The Chinese brought silk to the West\, and Iranians imported harps and lutes to China. Sogdians lived in the North-East of Iran and controlled merchandise on the road\, and some settled in China\, where Sogdian tombs have been found. Their coffins were decorated with Sogdian musical instruments – more so than Chinese ones. Their fast dance (the Sogdian whirl) was beloved by the Chinese\, and is often depicted on Chinese images. \nNext\, the concert moves west to Iran – and half a millennium closer to our time. Modes or scales incorporate quarter-tones in distinctive fashion. Al-Farabi was a great Islamic theorist\, whose voluminous treatises offer a major source on early Arabic music. \nFinally\, the journey goes to Castille\, León and Galicia\, three provinces of Northern Spain. King Alfonso X ruled them and is said to have composed 420 Cantigas\, with words that praise the Holy Virgin. The King also published a book\, Libro de los juegos\, which shows instruments and board games. Many chess games are shown accompanied by musical instruments. One is an Angular Harp\, played by a Spanish Moor. It is similar to the ancient Asian harp played in China on today’s program. However\, it differs greatly from the Western harp\, which has a pillar. \nABOUT THE MUSICIANS \nTomoko Sugawara\, Kugo \nBorn in Tokyo\, Japan\, Tomoko Sugawara began playing the Irish Harp at twelve\, added the Concert Harp at sixteen\, and graduated in harp at Tokyo University of the Arts. Since 1991 she plays the ancient Asian harp kugo\, which arose in 1900 BCE in Iran and migrated via the Silk Road to the Far East during the early first millennium CE. After moving to NYC\, Sugawara also learned Early European harp\, Gothic and Baroque harp. She leads Eurasia Consort\, her ensemble playing Silk Road music. She has received awards from the Japan Foundation\, Asian Cultural Council\, and the Dunhuang Foundation\,among others.

He travels up and won the east coast playing daf and other instruments and singing and performing Sufi and Persian folk songs as well as his own compositions and contemporary music of all kinds. Kamyar Arsani regularly travels to NYC to offer Persian Daf lessons at CRS. The Daf is a frame drum with lots of rings inside that you can shake when you play for added effect. It is an integral part of Sufi and Persian music because of the variety of sounds it can produce and its ability to induce trance. Kamyar learned from masters in Iran and has been playing and singing for decades.\nhttps://kamyararsani.bandcamp.com \nLäle Sayoko lives to embody and transmit the voice of spirit through music and dance.
