Bruno Deschênes, shakuhachi - The Flute Around the World

Music From Here and Abroad

Flutes are among the oldest instruments on Earth, with thousands of varieties found across the globe. This vibrant, variegated, one-of-a-kind programme brings together several members of the flute family, from the European Baroque flute to the Japanese shakuhachi and the Chinese dizi to the Middle-Eastern ney.

In collaboration with the Festival Accès Asie
