K. Yoshida & J.F. Lagrost - Concert in Le Kremlin-Bicêtre (Paris) - May 2012

Taking advantage of the concert tour that Koichi Yoshida made in Europe in April and May, I invited him on May 9th to the conservatoire where I teach, in Le Kremlin-Bicêtre near Paris. The meeting consisted of a little workshop of two hours followed by a concert in the rather unusual space of the Le Kremlin-Bicêtre theater (a small stage beneath a glass pyramid and a spiral staircase). I had the pleasure to accompany him for three duets during the concert, including a dialogue for concert flute and shakuhachi (Hi no obijime, 2006). The concert ended with the traditional Shika no Tone, spatialised into the pyramid.
