Tea Mail Tbilisi (Tea Mail)1 upcoming · Tea & Cacao ceremonyThe bright, rhythmic music of the short shakuhachi will give way to the slow, resonant melodies of the long shakuhachi and hotchiku. This time, several new pieces will be performed, and there will be three flutes.
What happens
- First, you will hear about the shakuhachi and hotchiku, Zen Buddhism, and the flutes’ connection to it. Then you will prepare to listen with a short meditation.
- The musical sets will be separated by a short break. The music is based on the repertoire of the komusō, who traveled around Japan several centuries ago. The flutes have an expressive, varied timbre, described as natural, rough-edged, and alive; the music follows the rhythm of human breathing, and silence is just as important in it as sound.
- At the end, you will be able to ask questions and discuss the music.
Who leads it
The music is performed by Mikhail Zybin.
Good to know
- The event lasts about two hours.
- Gentle evening teas will be offered with the music: white Gu Shu Bai Ya “AA” (White Buds from Ancient Trees) and GABA tea Black Pearl “AAA”.
