The concert will be held at the Song Huong Theatre in Hue and is expected to bridge Asian cultures through the elegant sounds of koto, shakuhachi, and Wadaiko drums.
The band consists of four members - Nobutaka Yoshizawa and Nobuhiro Kaneko, both of whom play the Koto, a Japanese plucked half-tube zither instrument.
Shakuhachi player Junya Okochi will bring the melody of meditative bamboo flute once played by Zen monks to the concert.
