Comment

This is a follow-up to my residency of last time. I will continue my collaboration with the Japanese master Noh-mask carver and theater director Fujio Fujimori and his actors, improvising accompaniments to his Mask-Pantomime theater. But this I will also be available to discuss new works with young composers and to coach young flutists in a master class.
