Kodo has been invited to perform in Russia this October at the Russian Ministry of Agriculture Trade Fair “Golden Autumn: Russian Agricultural Exhibition.” We are truly honored to perform inside the Grand Kremlin Palace, a World Heritage site. The folk music festival during the event will be broadcast live on Russia’s Channel One by the national broadcast station.

While we are in Moscow, we will also perform at a reception at the Japanese Embassy and give a workshop for students at the renowned Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory. Our activities during this short visit are not open to the general public, but if you are in Russia we sincerely hope you can see our performance on TV. We will do our very best to share the wonder of traditional Japanese performing arts and further Japanese-Russian exchange and mutual understanding through our activities.
