K-CONNECTION: A creative gathering for artists connected by their love for Kyoto
Leave a comment
K-CONNECTION is a free community gathering celebrating creativity inspired by Kyoto.
Twenty years ago, I started The Kyoto Connection, a musical project inspired by a city that I had never visited. Over the years, Kyoto became much more than a place. It became a source of inspiration, friendship, and unexpected connections with people from around the world.
This september, that story continues. Together with Cafe Monogataru, we are delighted to host the very first edition of K-CONNECTION in Yamashina!
We imagine it as a small and welcoming gathering where artists can share their work, their stories, and the many different ways Kyoto has touched their lives.
We don’t want this to feel like a traditional performance. We hope it becomes a space where conversations begin, collaborations are born, and strangers leave feeling they have known each other for years. Whether you come to perform or simply to listen, we would love to welcome you!
