Fri Feb 29 Virginia: Temple Concert - Manose (bansuri) + Shen (tabla)

Hi folks,

Shen's News: I had a really nice concert with Nepali bansuri player Manose near Byron on Friday, and he and I have a sudden booking - we are playing this Friday Feb 29 at the Sai Baba Temple (1614 Sandgate Rd Virginia). Manose is a lovely bansuri player and very entertaining. Please come along!

There are a lot of other good Indian classical events in the coming weeks - this Saturday night I highly recommend Pravaahee at the Old Museum with touring artists from India: a Kathak dancer, vocalist, tabla and harmonium.

“The mightiest power in humans is the power of thought. However, it is time for us to apply our intellectual energy for the benefit of the world, rather than being the cause of its destruction. The path of Yoga helps us to unearth the valuable treasury of spiritual knowledge buried within and put it to good use. In this way each of us can contribute something worthwhile to the planet and its recovery. When we learn to open our heart centre in the spiritual sense, there is the realization of an all-embracing, all-pervasive divine love. It is for this reason that the heart is regarded as the symbol of love.”

Every Wed, West End: World Music Wednesdays with Shen @ The Forest

Hi folks,

Shen's News: Wow, time flies. Since Taro left a couple of weeks back I've done almost nothing, especially on my computer. It's great to have a break! I've recently posted a whole bunch of photos from Taro's tour - Melbourne, the Great Journey, Woodford, and concerts with Steve and Ty from USA. Not much coming up in the immediate future - selling my van, Hilary, if anyone's interested?

6 + 8 Jan Brisbane: Home and Temple Bansuri Concerts - Taro Terahara's final shows this tour

Hi folks,

Shen's News: Happy New Year!!! I hope you've had a wonderful holiday season. Taro, myself and many others have just returned from a wet week at Woodford Folk Festival, surely one of the wettest Woodfords ever. It will take me a while to get back into gear and post photos etc, so for now I just want to announce this week's very special final concerts with Taro.

Before Taro heads back to Japan on the 9th, we have 2 final intimate concerts. The first will be an Indian classical flute home concert hosted by the Indian community in Pullenvale on Sunday. Then we have an exciting jugalbandi with touring sarod and tabla players Steve Oda and Ty Burhoe at the Sai Baba Temple in Virginia on Tuesday. Both concerts will offer the best atmosphere for enjoying this beautiful Indian classical music. Entry is by donation so there's no excuse not to come! :-)
