"Celebration 1973-1993" [compact disc cover]

These recordings feature classical and contemporary koto music selections from the broad repertoire of the Washington Toho Koto Society. The performances represent a collaboration among Koto Society members and an assortment of guest artists playing in ensembles, duets, and solo arrangements. Some pieces feature vocals, or accompaniments by other traditional Japanese instruments—especially the shamisen (a three-stringed lute) and the shakuhachi (an open-ended bamboo flute). In other works, Western instruments—such as the flute or piano—complement Japanese sounds.

All are available from the Society, from the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery (Smithsonian Institution; Washington, D.C.), at select D.C. metropolitan-area music stores, or here on our website.
