This dinner/concert series began 10 years ago with a solo performance by Yodo Kurahashi II. This amazing shakuhachi player, who happens to be my teacher, has returned to the series numerous times when visiting the bay area. He is a very popular performer, traveling around the world, constantly. Once again he is visiting San Francisco from Kyoto and will perform in this intimate space. Come see why Kurahashi sensei is considered to be one of the greatest shakuhachi players of his generation!
