Dear Friends of India and Japan
Please visit our newly constructed website www.ijmea.com for reports and photos etc of recent projects undertaken in both India and Japan with the support of Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Agency for Cultural Affairs, Japan Foundation, Japan Airlines, Indian Council for Cultural Relations, India Center, Air India, American Institute of Indian Studies and others, and with the kind cooperation of Embassies and Consulates of both nations.
We are pleased to report successful completion of our India-Japan Friendship Year tour of South India with four artists from Japan in four co-operative concerts with four exemplary artists of Carnatic music in the four cities of Bangalore, Chennai, Kochi and Thrissur.

Grateful to God, Guru & Gharwalli, I continue to be on the move musically with neither fanfare nor apology, including my Asian music course again this semester at Keio University, also Nada Yoga sessions.
Please note that I will giving programs - performance, lecture-demonstration, lecture, workshop - throughout India again in summer, in USA and Europe in autumn, in Philippines and again India next winter. Please contact me if you are interested.
None of this is off-the-wall haphazard fusion experimentation. Our efforts are recognized by commentary such as 'very significant contribution to tradition in the contemporary world' (pls see the National Network of Education, India interview, in our website).
Best wishes!
Sincerely,
Tim Hoffman

Thanks very much for attractively posting our latest on your website. I am off to India from 12 July for "Africa Meets Asia Music" Int'l Conference & Festival in Bangalore, and concerts in the Big Four cities, sponsored by Embassy and Consulates of USA. Back in Japan, hope to see you between mid-Aug and late Sept; or, if not, in India next Feb-Mar.
Will not get to Sydney for the Shakuhachi Festival - have been to plenty before, but it is inconsiderate scheduling, I would say; Japanese university students & staff, who are a crucial portion of the would-be participants, are unable to take off until at least mid-July. Knowing the organizers, am not totally surprised.
Pdt Kishan Maharaj - what a pity, what a loss, though we have the memories and recordings, at least... He seemed so healthy earlier this year. By the way, his son-in-law Gopal Mishra played tabla in my Sangeet Research Academy program on 6 February (day of W Bengal statewide bandh, even).
Cheers,
Tim Hoffman
