Debbie Danbrook |
Debbie Danbrook (b. 1956) is one of the few players in the Western world of the Japanese classical flute, the shakuhachi. She studied music at the University of Toronto and the Royal Conservatory of Music in the late 1970s and attended shakuhachi master classes in Japan from 1986 to 1988. Her compositions for the instrument meld contemporary classical and New Age techniques with the traditional 17th century shakuhachi repertoire. Apart from recording with other artists on the albums Tanoshii (1993) and Groupo Gekko (1995), Ms. Danbrook has released a Shakuhachi Meditation Series of seven compact discs.
