Glenn Swann (shakuhachi)

Bio:

Began Shakuhachi study in 1994, teachers include Tomie Hahn, Steven Rowland, David Wheeler, and currrently Kawase Junsuke III, Iemoto of Kinko Ryuu Chikuyusha. I frequently perform as well as teach in the Princeton Nj area, and in New York City.　Some highlights include the Coalition For Peace Action's Nagasaki/Hiroshima Memorial; Yearly Lunar New Year and MidAutumn Festival recitals at Holsome Tea in Princeton; the Rutgers Japanese club's Sakura Matsuri; doing a history/background lecture and performance for High School Japanese classes in Newark; providing music for Shumei New York events; and accompanying Ishigure Masayo Sensei's Sawai Koto Academy at the Tokyo Fiesta in Grand Central Station, the yearly summer Japanese Music Festival in Central park, as well as other venues. I play Kinko-ryuu Honkyoku and Modern pieces, but have particular affinity for Jiuta/Sokyoku and pieces from the early 20th century, as in Miyagi Michio and Fukuda Rando compositions.　Lately I have been performing often with piano accompaniment for these pieces. Other than shakuhachi, I teach Taijiquan and study Tea Ceremony and Chinese Calligraphy, as well as various other facets of Japanese and Chinese culture and philosophy. １９９４年、尺八の勉強を始めました。今アメリカに住んでいますが、時々日本に行って川瀬順輔先生の元で勉強をしています。 琴古流本曲から現代ものまで吹けますが特に三曲が好きです。1930年代の曲も好きで、最近、よく、宮城道雄や福田蘭童の曲をピアノ伴奏で吹いています。 尺八以外に、太極拳を教えています。表千家茶道や中国風書道も習っています。
