After a year-long concert tour across Japan, classical guitarist Koh Kazama returns to New York City for his first solo recital since coming home.

From intimate cafés and community spaces to concert halls across Japan, this journey was shaped by the people, places, and musical traditions encountered along the way. This special recital brings those experiences together in a program that celebrates both the classical guitar repertoire and the journey that inspired it.

Join Koh for an afternoon of music featuring works by Bach, Yocoh, Villa-Lobos, Piazzolla, and other composers, along with selections inspired by his travels through Japan.
