Winter House Concert with Dianne Daugherty playing the Japanese Koto
to
Kansas City Museum 3218 Gladstone Blvd., Kansas City, Missouri
Dianne Daugherty
Join us for an intimate house concert with Dianne Daugherty.
Dianne, educator of Japanese language and culture, koto presenter, and music enthusiast will share information about the standard 13-string koto and demonstrate its soothing and beautiful sounds as well as the surprising versatility of the instrument.
Resonating throughout the past 13 centuries, the Japanese koto remains a vibrant and living tradition. A versatile musical instrument in the zither family, originally brought to Japan from China, the koto enjoys an expansive range of repertoire including Imperial court music, Buddhist inspired pieces, folk tunes, and traditional compositions of the 17th to 19th Centuries. Today, it can be heard as a solo instrument, in ensembles with traditional and western instruments, and is being featured more widely in popular and contemporary music around the world.
Dianne will perform a variety of pieces from traditional, folk, and modern traditions.
Saturday, February 11
2:00 to 3:00 p.m.
