This evening, Kevin [Man] gave his first recital in the Master's Degree on shakuhachi at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Kevin is paving the way as the first shakuhachi major at SCM with teacher, Riley Lee. He performed a folksong arrangement for solo shakuhachi, Rokudan, E-mu and San'ya, the latter on his new 2.4 shakuhachi in the reverberant small recital hall underground at Macquarie Street. It was quite sympathetic to shakuhachi. Shoko Ono played koto in the two chamber pieces. [Kevin is best known for his performance in Taikoz and Karak ensembles playing percussion]. Gambatte Kevin!
