Zen Shakuhachi Concert & Meditation with 
Grandmaster Cornelius Boots

February 5, 2023 at 4:00 pm in the Sanctuary
General $20 ; Students & Seniors $10
Tickets at door or advance tickets available here

Edgewood resident and certified Grandmaster (dai shihan) Cornelius Boots presents the living tradition of shakuhachi -- the rare bamboo flute from ancient Japanese Buddhism.  The old monastic repertoire shares the program with robust solo compositions that slowly emerged as the bamboo was integrated into Boots’ original training as a creative jazz woodwinder in the lineage of John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy and Rahsaan Roland Kirk.  Meditation, music and nature form the roots of this earthy and ephemeral performing art.  Natural bore (jinashi) and larger, low-pitched flutes (bass or alto) flutes are featured on this program: they provide a strong connection – for both the player and the listener – to a deeper, almost primeval past: echoes from the ancient days of the Earth.

Artist Bio
​
Cornelius Boots is a certified Dai Shihan (grandmaster) of Zen shakuhachi and an award-winning composer.  A lifelong woodwind performance innovator, Boots also earned three music degrees from the renowned Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University and has released over 12 albums as a leader and written over 100 compositions for under-represented instruments (bass clarinet and shakuhachi).  A finalist in the 2018 World Shakuhachi Competition, he was also a featured performer or presenter that same year at the World Bamboo Congress (Xalapa), the World Shakuhachi Festival (London) and the Sony E3 Conference (LA).

​All active members of the First Presbyterian Church of Edgewood are asked to attend the annual Congregational Meeting immediately following worship on Sunday, January 22.  The purpose of this meeting is to receive and review the Annual Report and its reports from various committees and to review the final budget approved by Session.  Additionally, the remaining slate of nominees not yet secured at the December meeting will be elected to their offices and positions on Session, Deacons, the 2023 nominating committee, and auditors.  Please join us as we take care of the business involved in continuing our ministry at FPCE.  As required by our FPCE bylaws, this announcement and official notice of the meeting will be made from the pulpit 2 weeks prior to the meeting and printed in the worship bulletin.
