As the sixth generation of his family to bear the title Araki Kodo, Hanz (short for Hanzaburo, his great-great-grandfather’s name) first worked to master the Japanese end-blown bamboo flute. A master of both traditional Japanese flute and Irish traditional, Araki brings virtuosity without borders to this July 4 homage to music’s power to transcend even the greatest cultural & geographic divides. Alden Robinson, violin, will perform with Hanz for this concert.
