Eugene Sukhorukov as a child studied accordion and western music. In the 80's, Eugene began study of Yoga, Meditation and Martial Arts. Since 2003, shakuhachi has become Eugene's main instrument. He has been studying with or taking lessons from various teachers, such as Mary Lu Brandwein, Masakazu Yoshizawa, Bill Shozan Schultz, Kaoru Kakizakai, Peter Hill and Riley Lee. Besides shakuhachi, Eugene plays Native American flute, Anasazi flute & Duduk. He is also interested in gardening, especially Tsuboniwa, tea ceremony and calligraphy.
In his presentation he will introduce the Honkyoku (the repertoire of sacred pieces for Zen meditation), contemporary pieces and will invite you to participate in a unique sound-and-silence-guided meditation with centuries-old pieces of music.
Shakuhachi is the Japanese bamboo flute brought to Japan from China in the eighth century and used for centuries in a spiritual context. During the Edo period (1600-1868), the shakuhachi was used for meditative practice by Zen Buddhist "wandering" monks to relax the mind and body by combining mental focus, vibrations from the sound, and powerful breathing techniques. Until the late 1800's, playing shakuhachi was the exclusive privilege of "wandering" monks - who were in many cases, former samurai.
