Rock/Pop
The Hudson Valley Shakuhachi Choir
About This Event
The Hudson Valley Shakuhachi Choir places the breath-driven tone of the shakuhachi at the center of a rock/pop ensemble, favoring ensemble blend and steady pulse over spectacle. At the Brooklyn Botanic Garden the outdoor acoustic field becomes part of the performance; the project functions as a study in collective listening and a practical rethinking of what a “choir” can be in popular music.
