Four Winds

OzAsia Festival 2011

Evocative and enthralling: a unique Australian-Asian musical fusion that promises to inspire.

An extraordinary union of three virtuosic Australian musicians and a Master Otsuzumi (Japanese drum) performer.

Talented Japan-based Australian musicians Andy Bevan and Steve Falk, who blend the raw earthy sounds of marimba and didgeridoo and the lyrical tone of flute and soprano saxophone, lead this special evening of rhythm, wind and strings.

Joining them are master drummer Shonosuke Okura, one of Japan’s intangible Cultural Treasures, and Adelaide International Guitar Festival Artistic Director and world renowned classical guitarist Slava Grigoryan.
