The duo Oyama & Nitta perform on the lute-like shamisen and have deep roots in the country’s rich folkloric traditions, while drum soloists Hide & Miho explore the myriad possibilities of Japanese percussion.

This concert will be preceded by a 6 p.m. lecture featuring Takafumi Tanaka, an authority on Japanese traditional music and the founder of the monthly magazine Hogaku Journal.
