Virtual Moon Viewing Concert

The annual Moon Viewing concert is a tradition that was begun by Natalie Hays Hammond in 1966 and has continued by popular demand ever since.

Although you will not be able to be in the Japanese Stroll Garden for this ancient custom, which every year brings together people and traditions of the East and the West, we have created a special night version of the garden with the musicians.

Music will be specially pre recorded for the Hammond by Masayo Ishigure who has been playing the koto for our moon viewing concerts. There will be 2 kotos and 2 shamisens.

We encourage you to provide your own bento boxes and sake or plum wine to enjoy in the comfort of your own home while listening to the concert.

Tickets can be purchased on our website for the event on zoom.
