Yodo Kurahashi II dinner/concert Tuesday, August 26 in Oakland

9 years ago the dinner/concert series began in a small loft in Oakland, California and the performer was one of the greatest shakuhachi players of our time, Yodo Kurahashi II. He has since returned to play on the series numerous times and we are thrilled once again to host him, visiting from Kyoto, Japan!
