Sanctuary Sounds invites you to an extraordinary musical experience where centuries-old traditions meet modern innovation. This unique concert features music that blends traditional Japanese Gagaku with newly composed works, performed by a remarkable trio of artists who specialize in both ancient and contemporary musical forms.

Ryuteki player Lish Lindsey, hichiriki player Thomas Piercy, and sho player Fabio Rambelli bring the mystique and elegance of Gagaku into a new realm. With deep roots in this ancient Japanese court music and a passion for contemporary expression, these performers breathe new life into time-honored instruments.

The program includes compelling new works written especially for this ensemble by composers Jean-Patrick Besingrand, Masatora Goya, Allen Schulz, and Frances White. In addition, audiences will experience original compositions by the performers themselves—Lindsey, Piercy, and Rambelli—demonstrating the trio’s unique artistic vision and versatility.

The concert also features selections from their acclaimed debut CD, New Heritage, further highlighting the seamless blend of past and present that defines their sound. This event is more than a concert—it's a journey through time, culture, and sonic exploration.

Join us in Bloomfield for this immersive and unforgettable performance. Sanctuary Sounds offers a rare opportunity to witness the fusion of ancient instruments with modern compositions in an intimate and resonant setting.
