 Okeanos are a young ensemble that combines the delicate sounds of Japanese instruments koto and sho with western strings and woodwind. Much more than just east / west fusion they champion the works of young composers and tonight’s concert features several new compositions by the UK’s freshest talents contrasted by some traditional Japanese folk tunes in a compelling blend of ancient artistry and modern passion.
