The sounds and instruments of Japan mingle with those of India in this concert, as the Vancouver Inter-Cultural Orchestra performs the world premiere of a new work for bansuri and strings by Neelamjit Dhillon, alongside The Longing Sky, Moshe Denburg's ground-breaking double concerto for shakuhachi and sarangi. Featured soloists will be Harrie Starreveld (shakuhachi) and Yuji Nakagawa (sarangi), under the baton of guest conductor John Zoltek. Also on the bill: Nesting Cranes for shakuhachi and strings (traditional, arranged by Farshid Samandari), and an intercultural orchestral arrangement of George Harrisons Within You and Without You by Mark Armanini.
