1-DAY SHAMISEN WORKSHOP

Ayame Vest and Mike Penny will present the Japanese instruments known koto, sanshin and shamisen. A short history of its origins in China, migration to Okinawa, and development in mainland Japan will be followed by performances of an Okinawan song accompanied by sanshin, a Japanese song in the most ancient style of shamisen music known as "Jiuta," and a few instrumental pieces in the more modern and lively folk-style of Tsugaru shamisen. In addition, there will be an introduction on classical ensemble music where shamisen and voice are accompanied by koto. Koto is sometimes called the harp of Japan and often accompanies shamisen and voice, playing a similar role to the piano in Western music. Following the performance there will be an opportunity to try out the koto, sanshin and shamisen in a short lesson!
