Leonard Nimoy Thalia @ Peter Norton Symphony Space
2537 Broadway @ 95th Street

This fascinating program offers a rare opportunity to
hear the kugo angular harp that disappeared from the
world stage some 300 years ago. Harpist Tomoko
Sugawara performs on a modern rendition that honors
the essence of this ancient instrument that was popular
along the Silk Road and revered for centuries in Near
and Far Eastern religions. Sugawara’s music is deeply
emotional and expressive, interweaving compositions
from the Tang Dynasty China and 13th century Iran and
Spain with modern commissioned works. She is joined
on percussion, baglama saz, shakuhachi and ‘ud in
this program of acoustic music and informal talk.
