traditional Japanese transverse bamboo flute shinobue, performed by the
renowned Japanese musician Yasukazu Kanō.
The event will begin with a short public musical performance in the foyer of Salm Palace, offering visitors an authentic taste of Japanese music and the distinctive sound of this traditional instrument.
