Contemporary works for Japanese instruments ＆ Concert with Koto in November

I have been in Paris for my shinobue class and also I rehearsed with Gaho Takahashi for the concert on 25th November (by the way there are only 6 places left for this concert. If you are interested in, please book in advance) 

One of the works we will play is Hoshun, composed by Katsutoshi Nagasawa in 1971, originally for shakuhachi & koto. I've played several times this piece but with European modern flute and this time I play with shinobue in G (3 bon choshi).

It is not easy to play contemporary works written for Japanese instruments in Europe because there are not so many players... and also those works are difficult to find for people who cannot read Japanese. Because everything is written in Japanese, even the website to buy scores.... 

I will keep playing those new (this work is written 50 years ago...) works outside of Japan. Then, one day maybe one of you will want to play even with European instruments. Why not? 

Our concert is on 25th November in Brussels
