The 2nd Hawaii Shakuhachi Festival will be held at the University of Hawai'i at ManĂ´a Music Department, Honolulu Hawai'i 9-12 November 2006. The Festival will be as rewarding as ever, we hope with more faculty and participants than ever before.
As an official event sponsored by the University of Hawai'i, HSF06 has secured accommodation at East-West Center, a short walk through the beautiful campus of the University to the Music Department. It is nearly half the cost of hotel rooms in nearby Waikiki, and doesn't require a bus ride.
