La Symphonie du Nouveau Monde!

We are also pleased to share with you that Arashi Daiko will be featured in an episode of an upcoming television series on ARTV, “La Symphonie du Nouveau Monde”; this series will introduce viewers to a whole world of music, culture and people living right here in Montreal.
 
Musical director Luc Boivin guides the musicians in a collaborative adaptation of the New World Symphony, the first piece of classical music inspired by cultural diversity, by Czech composer, Antonin Dvorak in 1893. The thirteenth and final episode will present the result of this magnificent odyssey: a concert bringing together almost fifty musicians on one stage. For this series, two of Arashi Daiko’s members had the tremendous honour of travelling to Japan and studying for a few days with Kodo’s apprentices. You can see the episode on Arashi Daiko on July 5th, but we strongly encourage you to watch each and every eye-opening and inspiring episode.
 
Broadcast schedule:
Saturday July 26, 8pm:                     Grand finale concert  
 
Episodes will be re-broadcast on Tuesdays at 9:30am and Thursdays at 7pm. www.artv.ca.
Please note that this is a French language series.
