Japanese pianist Jun Kanno strikes a chord with Karachi
KARACHI : The idea of bridging cultures through music may be an old but it’s still very effective as it transcends languages, cultural differences and borders.
With this spirit, National Academy of Performing Arts’ (Napa) aptly titled ‘Bridging Cultures through Music’ came to an end on May 24. The three-day juncture had begun with a tribute to sitarist Ustad Rais Khan on the first day, a mehfil-e-ghazal on the second day, and finally concluded with the performance by Jun Kanno, a Japanese pianist.
The concert marked the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development and was a joint venture between the United Nations Information Centre and Napa, with the support of the embassies of Austria, Germany and Japan.
A tuneful tribute to Ustad Rais Khan
