2017年9月16日（土）の夜に、尺八コンサートに行ってきました。
会場はMelba Hallというメルボルン大学のコンサートホールでした。
演奏者は、海外で多数の演奏会を開催している柿堺香(かきざかい かおる)氏と豪州尺八協会の会長のLindsay氏が中心となり、尺八、琴、そしてヴァイオリン、ビオラまたチェロを含めた弦楽合奏がコラボレートしたりと貴重な経験でした。また、もうひとつのメイン演奏者（琴）のブランドン・リー氏も素晴らしい演奏でした。
豪州尺八協会の会長のLindsayくんが僕の友達で、このコンサートを紹介してくれました。
彼は、東京芸術大学（音楽学部）で学んだ経験があり、現在はMelbourne Conservatorium of Music (MCM), University of Melbourneで博士課程に在籍しています。
僕がUniversity of Melbourneの初日、説明会で偶然にも隣同士の席になって話が盛り上がって！
と、昔話はさて置き。
今週火曜の19日お昼に、Yarra Edge Theatreで尺八ランチコンサートがあるので、メルボルン在住でお時間ある方は是非足を運んでみてください。

-e-e-e-e-e-
On Saturday evening the 16th of September 2017, which has become a memorable day, I went off to a Shakuhachi concert in Melbourne. The venue was the Melba Hall, University of Melbourne, Parkville Campus.
*Shakuhachi is a traditional Japanese bamboo vertical flute.
The main performer was Mr Kaoru Kakizaki, who is a world-renowned master of the shakuhachi, and Mr Lindsay Dugan, who is the president of Australian Shakuhachi Society and a doctoral student at Melbourne Conservatorium of Music (MCM), University of Melbourne. Furthermore, another main performer Mr Brandon Lee, who is a Koto performer.
*Koto is a traditional Japanese stringed musical instrument.
Mr Kakizaki performed several pieces solely and collaboratively with performers such as a shakuhachi (Mr Lindsay), a koto (Mr Brandon) as well as violins, a viola and a cello.
I put a URL here to see an ABC Sydney’s video that shows Mr Lindsay Dugan playing the shakuhachi at Sydney Cherry Blossom Festival.
Lindsay emailed me to invite the concert. He is a friend of mine, and he graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts in Japan, and now he is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Melbourne in Australia. Lindsay and I have certain things, same unis both in Japan and Australia. Lindsay is also the main organiser of this shakuhachi concert.
Please come and see and listen to shakuhachi music at Yarra Edge Theatre this Tuesday 19 September when you have a chance:-)
