Music

On 19 October, 4.30 pm, at the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre, in Katoomba, Paul will be conducting the Academy Singers in a concert featuring one of Australia's finest Koto ensembles; the Odamura Koto Ensemble. Music from 16th century Europe will be juxtaposed with music from 16th century Japan. The concert will then explore the results of cultural confluence, both in Japan and other parts of the world. Principal Piccolo from the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Rosamund Plummer, who has been on sabbatical in Japan studying the oldest Japanese flute, Ryuteki, will be appearing as soloist.
