DON'T BE MISLEAD BY NAME OF THE THREAD>>> Jim Franklin visits Prague in October (admins could you please  change the name of the thread)

Dr. Jim Franklin

(James Ashley Franklin) studied shakuhachi in Australia witH Riley Lee. In 1996, and after prior visits to Japan, Jim received a scholarship which allowed him to study with Katsuya Yokoyama and his senior students in the Kokusai Shakuhachi Kenshukan, including Teruo Furuya. In December 1996 Jim received his 'shihan'-licence from Yokoyama-sensei. Concurrent with his shakuhachi studies, Jim has continued his activities as a composer, with commissioned works and performances in various countries, including intermedia works with visual artists. In 1998 he was awarded the degree of PhD from Sydney University for his compositional and theoretical work focussing on shakuhachi. He now divides his time between Australia, where he works as a university lecturer in music as well as composer and shakuhachi performer, and Europe. He performs and teaches shakuhachi on both continents.
