Step into the meditative beauty of Lotusland’s Japanese Garden for Music to Welcome Moons into Waves (2025), a newly composed ritualistic work blending ancient Japanese instruments with the sounds of nature. Organized by Professor Fabio Rambelli and composed by Daryl Jamieson, this performance draws upon medieval Japanese concepts of music, rhythm, and place, creating a profound dialogue between human artistry and nonhuman soundscapes.

This immersive piece is scored for four ancient Japanese instruments historically used in gagaku, the ceremonial music of Japan’s imperial court, Buddhist temples, and Shinto shrines. These instruments, largely unchanged since the 8th century, preserve the sounds of ages past. Among them, the ō-hichiriki and u were long-lost instruments that have only recently been reconstructed, making this performance an exceptionally rare opportunity to hear them live, even in Japan.

The composition is performed from 5:00 - 6:00 PM, during the Japanese Hour of the Monkey, as birds, winds, and waters prepare for nightfall. A reception will follow.
