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.
