Colours in Traditional Japanese Music

8 August 2026
18:00-19:00
Free to all

Step into a world where sound paints vivid portraits of ancient Japan.

This evocative performance explores the tonal colours of Kabuki theatre, contrasting the powerful, rhythmic energy of drums with the elegant, delicate melodies of the flute. Tanaka Denjiro VII and his musicians weave a rich tapestry of sound, revealing the many shades of emotion within traditional Japanese art. More than a concert, it is an immersive experience of vibrant, living heritage. Witness the breathtaking artistry and sophisticated beauty of culture in full bloom. Supported by the Japan Foundation and the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation.
