Moonviewing
Concert
The annual Moonviewing concert is a tradition that was begun by Natalie Hays Hammond in 1966. The Japanese Stroll Garden, lit by paper lanterns, is a magical setting for this ancient custom, which every August brings together people and traditions of the East and West. Traditional Japanese music will be played by
Masayo Ishigure and "MIYABI" koto and shamisen Ensemble.
