EthnoSuperLounge: October 2012

Hi folks,

This Sunday we will have a devotional home concert in Westlake from 3pm, as part of Navratri ("Nine Nights of the Goddess"). There will be 3 items with all tabla accompaniment provided by my students or myself. The final item will be a Dhrupad vocal performance by Yuki, which will be your last chance to hear her before she goes back to Japan next week to await her Australian visa. Please contact me for the address if you'd like to come.

Coming up, I'll be hosting some great Indian classical musicians at our home in Oxley - senior student of sarod maestro Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, Sri Steve Oda, with student of tabla master Ustad Zakir Hussain, Sri Ty Burhoe. These are big names and along with that goes genuine quality musicianship and devotion. I highly recommend their early afternoon concert on Saturday Nov 3. They are also performing in Byron on the 2nd and around Australia - flier attached.

Then we have bansuri master Taro Terahara here from Japan for 3 months, up until Festival of Tibet in early February 2013. We're starting with a round of Indian classical home concerts in Sunshine Coast (Fri Nov 9), Brisbane (Sat 10th) and Byron (Sun 11th).

This Saturday! Amazing Butoh, Odissi Dance events

Hi folks,

There are some special dance events going on in Brisbane this weekend. This Saturday afternoon, Yuki and Megan are presenting their last BUTOH and Oki-do Workshop of the year at our studio in Oxley, and this time I'll be providing some live music on... piano! Yes I've been practising lots of classical and some jazz piano pieces in the last couple of months, so let's see what happens...

Then on Saturday night there is the first performance at the new QLD Multicultural Centre in Kangaroo Point, entitled "Intensely Soul - Transformational Odissi Dance". Odissi dance is my favourite form of Indian classical dance, very beautiful and feminine, so I highly recommend this concert and the workshop the following morning. I'm attaching the event flier to this email.

Coming up, I'll be hosting some great Indian classical musicians at our home in Oxley - senior student of sarod maestro Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, Sri Steve Oda, with student of tabla master Ustad Zakir Hussain, Sri Ty Burhoe. These are big names and along with that goes genuine quality musicianship and devotion. I highly recommend their early afternoon concert on Saturday Nov 2. Then through November and December we're all looking forward to some classical and collaborative concerts with bansuri master Sri Taro Terahara.
