Marco Lienhard is a A'Lelia Bundles Community Scholar from Columbia University for 3 years. This will allow for some research on the book on Taiko and Japanese music.
We are excited about it and the opportunities that are given through this scholarship.
Some concerts were possible in Europe and some outside concerts in NYC. There will be one concert on 11/14 at 4 PM at Tenri Institute of Shakuhachi music. This concert is inside with vaccinations certificates requested.
We hope things are going to be easier, but it is still complicated to organize concerts in this setting.
This time when governments do not help artists to survive, we need your help until things go back to semi normal. Take an online lesson, buy some CDs for yourself or friends or donate.
Thank you for your support
