Gold Coast Chamber Orchestra proudly presents a rare musical collaboration with Také to Ito.

This special concert blends Western orchestral sound with the traditional Japanese tones of shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute) and koto (a traditional Japanese string instrument), creating a unique fusion of classical elegance and meditative Eastern melodies.

Nurtured by respect for tradition and the aesthetic of wabi-sabi and inspired by Japan’s natural beauty, Také to Ito – bamboo and strings – vividly captures the essence of Japan’s traditional music.
