About this Event

Kaoru Watanabe - BUNPUKU!

Solo works for Japanese flutes and percussion with electronics

Saturday, May 3, 2025 at 7:30pm


Acclaimed composer and musician Kaoru Watanabe brings the aesthetics and sensibilities of Japanese traditional music through a distinctly contemporary American lens. The music ranges from meditative contemplation to percussive festival music, performed in a way that blurs the lines between in-the-moment improvisations and intricately structured compositions. A singular musician, Watanabe has collaborated with iconic figures such as Wes Anderson, Yo-Yo Ma, Jason Moran, Laurie Anderson, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and Rhiannon Giddens.

About Musica Reginae Productions:

Founded in 2000, Musica Reginae Productions (MRP) brings innovative programming and world-renowned artists to concert spaces in Queens, the most ethnically diverse county in the world. MRP’s mission is to be “Your natural choice for fine music in Queens.”

MRP produces affordable, informative, and family friendly concerts featuring music that draws its inspiration from the classical, chamber, opera, jazz and world music literature. Our concerts provide a venue for talented and exciting young and established artists and we have become increasingly devoted to presenting new music by emerging composers, particularly those who have an affiliation with NYC and with our home borough of Queens. MRP fulfills its educational outreach mission with its Community Concerts for Kids, a free interactive, educational series for children and families ages 4 and up, led by teaching artists Beata Moon and MRP Artistic Director Barbara Podgurski. In addition, our artists perform at several public events every year including the 9/11 ceremonies in lower Manhattan and have also performed for Pope Francis during his Papal Visit of 2015. MRP is able to present top-notch performances each season because of the support it receives from individual and corporate sponsors in addition to partial funding from the Department of Cultural Affairs, the New York State Council on the Arts and NYC & Co.
