Hey On Ensemble fans! We need your help to spread the word about our upcoming home concert! We’ve made this nifty little jpeg flier that you can post on your own blog or email out to friends. Just right click “save image as” to copy this flier to your computer. Thanks for the help!
The October issue of Cultural News has come out and has an advertisement for our upcoming concert and an article about my shamisen stuff. I can’t remember when that picture was taken… :)
Tickets for ON ’08: YOBU, our fifth annual home concert are now on sale! This year’s concert will be held at the Aratani/Japan America Theater in downtown Los Angeles, on Saturday November 8th.
YOBU is extra special for us because Kris will be receiving his natori for nagauta shamisen! Kris’ sensei Kineya Katsuyukie will be flying from Japan to perform with Kris in his natori debut. Getting a natori (professional stage name) from a nagauta school is a big deal. There are only few artists in the United States with a natori in nagauta and the only taiko player in the United States with a natori is the legendary taiko pioneer Kenny Endo. We’re very proud of Kris as he makes a bit of taiko history and hope you’ll be there to celebrate with us!
