Shakuhachi Festival 2008
July 4-8 Sydney, Australia
A world-wide gathering of renowned shakuhachi players, Living National Treasures from Japan, professional performers, scholars, absolute beginners and shakuhachi enthusiasts will be held in Australia for the first time. The Festival features concerts, workshops, master classes, seminars and exhibits. There will be many world premiers for new works for the shakuhachi throughout the Festival.
You can register directly from the Festival Website using PayPal, securely and easily, using either a PayPal account, or just a credit card. Early bird registrations are cheaper than later registrations. Plus by registering early, you will be helping the Festival with its very tenuous cash flow. The Festival has many expenses that need to be met immediately, yet most of the income will not be received until during or after the Festival.
Accommodation can also be booked via a link on the Festival website. Booking through our partner, ID Tours will get you extremely competitive prices for hotels in Sydney, possibly the best prices. Booking optional tours (for accompanying spouses or before/after the Festival) through ID tours will also help support the Festival.
