Koto Ensemble Lantana @ Old First Concerts

Last weekend I saw the Koto Ensemble Lantana as part of the Old First Concerts series here in SF. It was a great show in an intimate church venue, blending traditional and avant-garde on the koto and other instruments. The final piece was a new composition by Hyo-shin Na called “Night Procession of the Hundred Demons” that was inspired in part by Macbeth.

Old First Concerts has performances most weekends, and with classical, jazz, blues, folk and international music there’s something for everyone.
