After a successful first collaboration, LA’s 33 Strings and LA Artcore will once more be joining their efforts to bring to you a special workshop and concert led by world renowned Tsugaru-jamisen artist – Hiroshi Yamaguchi.
This is a rare opportunity to experience the shamisen style that originated in the Tsugaru region of northern Japan and, prior to the concert, guests will be able to learn various Tsugaru techniques from the artist himself.
Hiroshi Yamaguchi is well known in Japan and has performed for high profile audiences around the world, including Imperial Prince Takahito Mikasanomiya.
This performance is part of an ongoing effort to promote and introduce cross-cultural appreciation of the arts through traditional Japanese music.
About the Artist:
Hiroshi Yamaguchi began his musical studies at the age of 4 from his father, Koji Yamaguchi, and first studied Tsugaru-jamisen soon after under the tutelage of Katsuhiro Chiba.
Later, he studied under Nanbu Shamisen artist Kikuo Natsuzaka of Oku-Nanbu Minyo. He also learned Nagauta Shamisen from Hiroaki Kikuoka of Touon.
As a Tokyo National University graduate, he has performed around the world upon requests by the Japanese Foreign Mystery and others.
