In a graceful waltz of time, with leaves falling and the light filtering through the trees, like a dream of contentment, Autumn is a dance of graceful transition in a masterpiece of color and light. The sonic flavor of Shakuhachi takes us to Japan, reminding and transporting us to autumns of the past, where times were slower and we celebrated rituals of our communities. Join us for music from the Medieval period to today, in this Four Seasons Finale.
