East Winds Ensemble is presenting a program with two international masters of Japanese music: Marco Lienhard and Masayo Ishigure. A concert that will feature music played on the Shakuhachi, Koto and Shamisen. Soulful music that will soothe and tingle your senses. The concert will feature traditional and modern compositions such as: Haru No Umi, Sanan, Yugao and more.  Music is available on MarcoLienhard.com, iTunes and cdbaby.com.

An amazing Shakuhachi player Marco Lienhard, a very gifted artist with wonderful sense of musicality. Not since late “ National Treasure” Yamaguchi Goro’s rendition of Shakuhachi music have I felt the need to listen to more of his music. His rendition of Honkyoku form the Watazumi style is incredible. His powerful and heartfelt rendition of Amazing Grace reminded me of such gospel singers as Mahalia Jackson. ”Hogaku Journal, Tokyo

This performance is made possible in part by funds from East Winds, Inc. and in part with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

Taikoza: Experience the thunderous rhythms of the ancestral Japanese Taiko drums and the magical sounds of the bamboo flutes. Hear the 100 lb. Taiko drum; give thunderous voice to traditional and new compositions. Roughly translated, Taiko means big drums-and that’s exactly what Taikoza brings. Big Drums, powerful rhythms, and electrifying, room-thumping energy. This exciting group draws from Japan’s rich tradition of music and performance to create a highly visual performance. With colorful traditional costumes and dynamic motion, Taikoza’s shows are immensely popular with audiences of all ages. Drawing from Japan's rich tradition of music and performance, Taikoza has created a new sound using a variety of traditional instruments. In addition to drums of assorted sizes, Taikoza incorporates the shakuhachi and the fue (both bamboo flutes) and colorful dances. The group has toured internationally and has appeared on ESPN, NBC, History Channel, etc. Taikoza’s music is featured on Nintendo’s wii game: Red Steel. www.taikoza.com.

This performance is made possible in part by funds from East Winds, Inc. and in part with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, LMCC and the Parks Foundation

Quotes from the Media:

“ An amazing Shakuhachi player Marco Lienhard has come out with a new CD, truly a very gifted and wonderful sense of musicality. Not since “ National Treasure” Yamaguchi Goro’s rendition of Kinko Honkyoku music have I felt the need to listen to more of his music. His rendition of Honkyoku form the Watazumi style is incredible and everyone studying the style should listen to it. His powerful and heartfelt rendition of Amazing grace reminded me of such gospel singers as Mahalia Jackson. ”

尺八―日本人なら誰でもその楽器は知っているでしょうが、果たして生の演奏を聴く機会がどれだけあるでしょうか。尺八に出会い日本でおよそ２０年近くにわたる修行と活動を経て、アメリカに拠点を移してからもその音色の美しさ、素晴らしさを伝えるべく、日々活動をしております。今回、秋分の日に是非この尺八の魅力を皆様にお届けしたいと思い、このコンサートを企画しました。また、当方の和太鼓集団太鼓座から斎藤千佳子が踊りで花を添えます。今や日本の邦楽は海外でも人気を博しております。本物の良さをどうぞお楽しみいただきたいと思います。

Quotes from the Media:

“ An amazing Shakuhachi player Marco Lienhard has truly a very gifted and wonderful sense of musicality. Not since “ National Treasure” Yamaguchi Goro’s rendition of Kinko Honkyoku music have I felt the need to listen to more of his music. His powerful and heartfelt rendition of Amazing Grace reminded me of such gospel singers as Mahalia Jackson. ”   Hogaku Journal, Tokyo

“Marco Lienhard, a Swiss-born master of the shakuhachi played with malleable, expressive attacks, …deep in terms of profundity if not pitch. One can hear already in a single tone the sound of the whole cosmos, the sadness and beauty of the past.”

JAMES R. OESTREICH, New York Times

The 31st annual FOCUS! festival, Nippon Gendai Ongaku: Japanese Music Since 1945, opens with the New Juilliard Ensemble, conducted by Joel Sachs, on Friday, January 23, 2015, at 8 p.m., in Juilliard’sPeter Jay Sharp Theater in a program of pieces for chamber orchestra by Toshio Hosokawa, Akira Nishimura, Somei Satoh, Misato Mochizuki, and Michio Mamiya. The festival continues with four chamber music concerts, Monday, January 26, through Thursday, January 29, and closes with a concert by theJuilliard Orchestra, conducted by celebrated Japanese conductor Tadaaki Otaka, on Friday, January 30, 2015, at 8 p.m., also in the Peter Jay Sharp Theater. The January 30 program features a tribute to Tōru Takemitsu, the most renowned of Japanese composers, with works by Akira Miyoshi, Takashi Yoshimatsu, and Claude Debussy, whose music has had a tremendous influence on Japanese composers and particularly on Takemitsu.

All events are free, and tickets will be available beginning January 13, 2015 at events.juilliard.edu.

On programming this year’s FOCUS! festival, Joel Sachs remarked: “The idea of a festival of Japanese music was the natural result of my many years of performing music by some of the best known Japanese composers, beginning with a 1995 Continuum concert of music by Tōru Takemitsu and Toshiro Mayuzumi. Over the next decades, having performed music by Akira Nishimura, Toshio Hosokawa, Karen Tanaka, and others, I realized the riches available from Japanese composers. Seeing that Japanese composers wrote in all manners of style, I became confident that so much variety of Japanese music would prove rewarding to the New York audience and to Juilliard’s performers.”

Program Information:

The festival opens on Friday, January 23, 2015, at 8 p.m. in Juilliard’s Peter Jay Sharp Theater with the New Juilliard Ensemble, led by Joel Sachs, in a program featuring Toshio Hosokawa’s Voyage X – Nozarashi (2009, Western Hemisphere premiere) for shakuhachi and ensemble with guest artist Marco Lienhard on shakuhachi

Not since “ National Treasure” Yamaguchi Goro’s rendition of Kinko Honkyoku music have I felt the need to listen to more of his music. His rendition of Honkyoku form the Watazumi style is incredible and everyone studying the style should listen to it. His powerful and heartfelt rendition of Amazing grace reminded me of such gospel singers as Mahalia Jackson. ”

The shakuhachi came to Japan from China in the seventh century. By the 13th century there was an offshoot of the Rinzai school called Fuke-shu, whose priests as their main meditative practice would play the shakuhachi. This was called suizen (blowing zen).  There was a large repertoire of musical solo meditation pieces built up and these are collectively known as honkyoku.  During this period only monks were allowed to play and the shakuhachi was considered a sacred instrument. Eventually it started to be heard at the court in Kyoto where a repertoire of ensemble pieces (sankyoku) was created, and after the dissolution of Fuke-shu during the Meiji era the ordinary people of Japan were able to use it for folksongs (Minyo) and western music.

At ease with honkyoku, traditional, modern, minyo, folk music, classical and improvisation, Marco Lienhard will bring you to the essence and soul of Shakuhachi music and help you rediscover the instrument.

Marco Lienhard studied the shakuhachi under Master Katsuya Yokoyama, quickly mastering the instrument and becoming a virtuoso solo artist. Marco Lienhard was a member of Ondekoza from 1981-1994. While touring as a professional taiko player in Japan, Lienhard also studied the fue and the nohkan (Noh theater flute) with Masayuki Isso. In 1995, Lienhard founded Taikoza in New York, where he now makes his home. With Taikoza he has toured, the US, Japan, Mexico and Europe. Lienhard has performed more than 3000 concerts in Europe, Oceania, Asia and North and South America with appearances at some of the world’s most prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Boston Symphony Hall, Osaka Castle Hall, Hong Kong Cultural Center and Suntory Hall in Tokyo. He has contributed to many movies, documentaries and CDs, has done several recordings with Ondekoza, Taikoza and has two critically acclaimed shakuhachi recordings.

The shakuhachi came to Japan from China in the seventh century. By the 13th century there was an offshoot of the Rinzai school called Fuke-shu, whose priests as their main meditative practice would play the shakuhachi. This was called suizen (blowing zen).  There was a large repertoire of musical solo meditation pieces built up and these are collectively known as honkyoku.  During this period only monks were allowed to play and the shakuhachi was considered a sacred instrument. Eventually it started to be heard at the court in Kyoto where a repertoire of ensemble pieces (sankyoku) was created, and after the dissolution of Fuke-shu during the Meiji era the ordinary people of Japan were able to use it for folksongs (Minyo) and western music.

Quotes from the Media:

“ An amazing Shakuhachi player Marco Lienhard has come out with a new CD, truly a very gifted and wonderful sense of musicality. Not since “ National Treasure” Yamaguchi Goro’s rendition of Kinko Honkyoku music have I felt the need to listen to more of his music. His rendition of Honkyoku form the Watazumi style is incredible and everyone studying the style should listen to it. His powerful and heartfelt rendition of Amazing grace reminded me of such gospel singers as Mahalia Jackson. ”

Workshop #1: 11/6 @ 5:30-7: 30PM

Yoko uchi/ Naname Taiko:

You will get to learn a new song that you will be able to perform on a slant stand (Naname) inspired from a Festival and from the style I developed with Ondekoza. Learn a slightly different style than the regular naname style and the philosophy behind it. After spending 20 years with Ondekoza and its director Mr. Den, I developed my own style and approach to taiko and its esthetic. A great way to learn a new song and get new ideas about taiko and learn about its inspiration and philosophy.

Workshop #2: 11/6 @7:30- 9:30pm

Kagura/ Kaitoryu, A taiko piece from the Shinto temple festival in Tobishima Mura, Aichi Prefecture of the Kaitoryu style. The late Tsukiboshi Sensei taught me this song while in Ondekoza and encouraged us to pass it along. This area around Nagoya is famous for this type of drumming that uses two drums (Shime in front of you and one nagado to your right side.  You can make this song as challenging as you want, with adding more bachi twirls or do the simple version and learn the rhythms. This song is a great way to better your skills in playing Shime and Nagado. This song is played usually seated but can be played standing. This song can be learned by intermediate to advanced but some quick beginners can pick on the rhythm easily and try some of the movements. This song can be performed later on and is a great way to open up your way of playing and thinking about taiko and movement.

Learn a slightly different style than the regular naname style and the philosophy behind it. After spending 20 years with Ondekoza and its director Mr. Den, I developed my own style and approach to taiko and its esthetic. A great way to learn a new song and get new ideas about taiko and learn about its inspiration and philosophy.

Workshop #2: 11/6 @7:30- 9:30pm

Kagura/ Kaitoryu, A taiko piece from the Shinto temple festival in Tobishima Mura, Aichi Prefecture of the Kaitoryu style. The late Tsukiboshi Sensei taught me this song while in Ondekoza and encouraged us to pass it along. This area around Nagoya is famous for this type of drumming that uses two drums (Shime in front of you and one nagado to your right side.  You can make this song as challenging as you want, with adding more bachi twirls or do the simple version and learn the rhythms. This song is a great way to better your skills in playing Shime and Nagado. This song is played usually seated but can be played standing. This song can be learned by intermediate to advanced but some quick beginners can pick on the rhythm easily and try some of the movements. This song can be performed later on and is a great way to open up your way of playing and thinking about taiko and movement.
