Sounds of St Cecilia's V: Shakuhachi: The Sound of Silence

Rooted in Zen meditation, the shakuhachi – a Japanese bamboo flute – explorers the boundary between sound and silence. Today, its evocative voice resonates beyond temples, bringing a centuries-old tradition into modern concert halls for a wider audience. This concert focuses on Sir Nicholas Shackleton's remarkable instrument collection which includes over 800 clarinets featuring on this occasion the shakuhachi. This memorial concert provides a unique opportunity to explore a different instrument and sound world.
