Golden Oldies features mainly ensemble music from the 18th and 19th centuries, with the shakuhachi in combination with other Japanese instruments such as the koto (long zither) and shamisen (long-necked lute) and voice, as well as min'yo (folksong with shakuhachi).

The shakuhachi is a traditional end blown Japanese bamboo flute, with (usually) five finger holes and an angled blowing edge. It is played vertically and its tone is often described as haunting and meditative, being rich with inflections of pitch and timbre.
Whether you are new to the shakuhachi or an advanced professional, there is no excuse to miss WSF2018 in London. WSF is a great time to discover the shakuhachi, so even if you have never heard about the shakuhachi before you may want to try the Discover Shakuhachi Pass, which gives you access to all the concerts and lectures at Goldsmiths during the Festival days.
For each of the daytime and evening concerts taking place at Goldsmiths between the 1st and 4th August, tickets will be available for purchase at the entrance to the relevant venue at Goldsmiths prior to the concerts.
The sales desk for individual tickets will open 30 minutes before the scheduled starting time of the particular concert. Tickets will be subject to availability.
